Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Babu under Sections 147, 148, 302/149, and 323/149 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming that the evidence presented by witnesses was sufficient to establish his presence and participation in the collective attack that resulted in the deaths of Manoj and Ramu, and serious injuries to Devender. The Court noted that the injuries were multiple and severe, indicating a common object to commit murder. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the trial court's findings against Babu while noting the acquittal of another accused, Reshampal, was not challenged by the State.
