Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of accused Manoj, Sonu, Umesh, Tej Pal, and Narendra under Section 302/149 IPC, affirming the trial court's death sentence, while converting it to life imprisonment. The Court found that the prosecution established the charges of murder and conspiracy beyond reasonable doubt, as the accused were involved in a premeditated attack resulting in multiple fatalities. The appeals of Dinesh and Shiv Pal were dismissed, maintaining their life sentences under Section 302/120-B IPC.
