Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC and Section 148 IPC, affirming life imprisonment for A1 and A2 for murder and concurrent sentences for other accused under the Explosive Substances Act, 1908. The Court emphasized that the evidence of factional rivalry and the use of explosives established the culpability of the accused. The High Court's reversal of the trial court's judgment was set aside, reinstating the original convictions and sentences.
