Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302, 324, and 148 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's reversal of the trial court's acquittal. The Court established that the presence of factional violence and the use of deadly weapons constituted sufficient grounds for the convictions. The appellants were sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and additional terms for other offenses, with sentences running concurrently.
