Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act, 1959, affirming the High Court's decision which maintained the sentences imposed by the Sessions Court. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the involvement of the accused in the murder and assault, thereby reinforcing the application of Section 149 IPC regarding unlawful assembly. The Court dismissed the appeals, confirming the life sentences for the convicted individuals.
