Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder, along with Sections 147, 148, and 307 read with Section 149 IPC for rioting and attempted murder. The Court emphasized that it would not interfere with concurrent findings of fact by lower courts unless there is manifest illegality or a grave miscarriage of justice. The High Court's modification of the death sentence to life imprisonment was affirmed, maintaining the overall conviction and sentences against the appellants.
