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 presence of an unlawful assembly and the direct involvement of the appellants in the fatal assault on Sabbir Shah, leading to his death. The Court also noted the corroborative testimonies of eyewitnesses and medical evidence confirming the cause of death as multiple injuries sustained during the attack.
