Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 323 r/w 34, 324 r/w 34, and 307 r/w 34 IPC, affirming individual liability due to lack of common intention. The High Court's alteration of appellant No. 2's conviction to Section 304 Part II r/w 34 IPC was also upheld, as the assault was deemed spontaneous without premeditation. The Court emphasized that the injuries inflicted did not demonstrate intent to kill, leading to a reduction in the severity of the charges against the appellants.
