Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302/149 IPC for the murder of Fateh Mohammad, affirming the High Court's decision that the evidence of eyewitnesses and the dying declaration were credible and reliable. The Court clarified that the presence of multiple assailants and the use of firearms constituted a clear case of unlawful assembly with the common intention to kill. The appeal by the accused was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that eyewitness testimony, when corroborated, can be sufficient for conviction under serious charges.
