Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to acquit several accused and alter the convictions of others, clarifying that the application of Sections 302/149 IPC and 307/149 IPC was inappropriate and should instead be considered under Sections 302/34 and 307/34 IPC. The Court emphasized the necessity of establishing common intention among the accused for such convictions, which was not sufficiently demonstrated in this case. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment.
