Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 under Sections 302 and 149 IPC for the murder of Ravi, affirming the High Court's decision which maintained these convictions while acquitting A-6. The Court emphasized that the evidence from eyewitnesses PW-1 and PW-2 was credible and corroborated the prosecution's case. The judgment clarified that the presence of common intention among the accused was established, justifying the application of Section 149 IPC in this case.
