Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Shyamu under Section 302 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act, while addressing the acquittal of Balbir Singh, Vinod, and Karua under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC. The Court emphasized that the acquittal was erroneous as the evidence clearly established a conspiracy to commit murder due to ongoing litigation between the parties. The appeal was allowed, reversing the High Court's decision and reinstating the convictions of the acquitted accused.
