Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 302, 324, and 148 read with Section 149 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which altered the charge under Section 307 IPC to Section 324 IPC. The Court established that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, sufficiently supported the convictions for murder and assault. The outcome confirmed the trial court's findings while modifying the specific charge related to attempted murder.
