Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Guiram Mondal under Sections 147, 148, 149, and 302 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which overturned the trial court's acquittal. The Court established that the formation of an unlawful assembly with deadly weapons and the subsequent murder of Amrita Dome constituted a clear violation of the law. The appeal was dismissed, and the conviction was maintained, emphasizing the evidentiary support for the prosecution's case.
