Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 324 read with Section 34 IPC for causing injuries during a group attack. The Court found that the High Court correctly set aside the trial court's acquittal based on the evidence of eyewitnesses and the nature of injuries inflicted. The judgment emphasized that the presence of multiple assailants and the use of deadly weapons warranted the conviction, affirming the High Court's decision.
