Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of accused nos. 2 to 5 under Sections 148 and 302/149 IPC, affirming the High Court's dismissal of their appeal. The Court reiterated that for a conviction under Section 302 IPC, the prosecution must establish the presence of common intention among the accused, which was satisfied in this case. The Court also noted that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, sufficiently supported the findings of the lower courts.
