Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the conviction of the appellants under Sections 147, 148, 450, 302/149, 326/149, 325/149, 324/149, 323, 427, and 364 of the IPC, confirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the Trial Court. The Court found sufficient evidence supporting the prosecution's case despite the defense's claims of inconsistencies in witness testimonies and the FIR being ante-dated. The Court clarified that the conviction under Section 302 IPC was justified based on the established involvement of the appellants in the violent attack leading to the death of Bhebharam.
