Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A-2 under Section 302 IPC, sentencing him to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 25,000, while also convicting him under Section 27 of the Arms Act, 1959 for which he received a one-year sentence. The High Court's modification of A-2's conviction to Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC was affirmed, while the acquittal of A-1, A-3, A-4, A-5, and A-6 was overturned, convicting them under Sections 148 and 302 read with Section 149 IPC. The Court dismissed A-2's special leave petition against his conviction, thereby maintaining the High Court's judgment.
