Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the accused under Section 302 read with 149 IPC for murder, Section 307 read with 149 IPC for attempted murder, and other related sections, affirming the life imprisonment sentence. The Court found that the prosecution established a clear case of conspiracy and joint liability among the accused, who armed themselves and attacked the deceased and others. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and medical evidence in corroborating the prosecution's case, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against conviction.
