Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the High Court's decision to set aside the conviction under Section 302/149 IPC while affirming convictions under Sections 148, 323, 324/149, and 325 IPC. The Court held that the prosecution failed to prove the charge of murder under Section 302 IPC, as the injuries were found to be simple in nature, thus establishing that the evidence did not meet the threshold for a murder conviction. The appeal was dismissed, and the High Court's order was upheld, confirming the remaining convictions and sentences.
