Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of Mahendra Singh and Ram Singh under Sections 148 and 302 read with Section 149 IPC for their involvement in a murder case. The Court noted that the High Court had dismissed their appeals while acquitting other co-accused, Shyobai and Shakuntala Devi. The argument regarding Mahendra Singh's age at the time of the incident was considered but did not alter the conviction. The Court affirmed the lower court's decision, emphasizing the gravity of the offenses committed.
