Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Dev Singh, Bansilal, Ratan Lal, Kailash, Kamal Singh, and Devi Singh, affirming their convictions based on strong eyewitness testimony and medical evidence linking them to the crime. The court noted that the injuries sustained by the accused were minor and did not necessitate an explanation, thus rejecting their claims of doubt regarding the prosecution's case. The acquittal of Hari Singh and Raghunath Singh was upheld as they were not found to have inflicted fatal injuries, distinguishing their circumstances from those of the convicted appellants.
