Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 324 and Section 149 IPC for the appellants involved in a violent incident, affirming the trial court's findings that they were armed and participated in the crime. The Court noted that the High Court had previously reduced the sentence for the appellants due to the prolonged litigation and the age of the offenders at the time of the incident. The Court ultimately decided to maintain the convictions while addressing the sentencing aspect, emphasizing the need for justice after a long delay in proceedings.
