Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the High Court's ruling that the appellants formed an unlawful assembly and committed murder in furtherance of their common object. The Court found that the evidence presented, despite contradictions, was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, and the life sentences were confirmed, along with the imposed fines.
