Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 148, 324/149, and 364/149 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the High Court's dismissal of their appeal. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the assembly of the accused with the intent to commit an offense and the subsequent abduction of the victim, Satyaban. The Court found no merit in the appeals, leading to the confirmation of the sentences imposed by the Sessions Court.
