Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's decision that had set aside the acquittal of the accused in a murder case under Sections 147, 148, 149, 307, and 302 IPC. The Court established that the prosecution had sufficiently demonstrated the involvement of the accused in a premeditated attack resulting in multiple fatalities. The Supreme Court held that the acquittal was erroneous and reinstated the conviction of the accused, emphasizing the need for accountability in violent crimes.
