Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 304 Part II read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the trial court's findings. The Court established that the formation of an unlawful assembly with the intent to commit murder was sufficiently proven, as the accused inflicted fatal injuries on the victim using blunt weapons. The appeals were dismissed, maintaining the rigorous imprisonment sentence of four years for the accused.
