Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 147, 148, 326, 324, and 325 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision that the accused formed an unlawful assembly and inflicted serious injuries on the complainant. The Court noted that the injuries sustained by the victim were grave, justifying the sentences imposed by the Trial Court. The appeals by the accused were dismissed, and the State's appeal for enhancement of sentence was also rejected, maintaining the original sentences.
