Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of 27 accused under Sections 147, 148, 149, 364, 307, and 302 IPC for their involvement in a violent attack on villagers, resulting in serious injuries and one death. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, which partially allowed appeals against the trial court's conviction, emphasizing the sufficiency of evidence presented by the prosecution. The judgment reinforced the principle that collective criminal liability can be established when multiple individuals participate in a violent act, leading to serious consequences.
