Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction under Sections 147, 148, and 302/149 IPC, reversing the trial court's acquittal. The Court found that the prosecution established the presence of the accused at the scene of the crime, corroborated by eyewitness accounts, and that the accused had conspired to commit murder. The appeal by Durbal, the remaining accused, was dismissed, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court.
