Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the five accused under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC for the murder of Babulal, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed their life sentences. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the common object of the unlawful assembly, as the accused were armed and attacked Babulal, leading to his death from multiple injuries. The Court found no merit in the appeals, thereby maintaining the lower courts' rulings and sentences.
