The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A-2 under Section 302 IPC for murder, confirming the life sentence, while acquitting A-3, A-4, A-5, and A-6 of murder charges under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC. The Court found that the evidence of the sole eyewitness, PW-1, was credible and corroborated by the post-mortem findings, which revealed 24 injuries on the deceased. The Court also addressed the acquittal of A-1 and A-5, affirming the lower court's decision regarding their lesser involvement under Sections 147 and 148 IPC.
