Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the Rajasthan High Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the unlawful assembly and the specific roles of the appellants in the assault that led to the deaths of Sabbir Shah and Rakhu Shah. The Court also noted that the defense of the appellants was not substantiated, and the evidence presented by the prosecution was credible and compelling.
