Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 148, 324/149, and 304 part I/149 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the findings of the trial court and the High Court. The Court established that the formation of an unlawful assembly with deadly weapons and the resultant assault leading to death constituted a clear violation of IPC provisions. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the sentences imposed by the lower courts.
