Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 147 and 327/149 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the High Court's decision while reducing the sentence for the latter from three years to one year, maintaining a concurrent three-month sentence for the former. The Court noted that the appellant did not contest the conviction but sought leniency in sentencing based on mitigating circumstances, including the absence of premeditation and the appellants' young age. The Court ultimately decided to reduce the sentence based on the time already served by the appellants.
