Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 148 IPC for rioting, affirming the Sessions Court's findings that the prosecution proved the charges against certain accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court noted that the acquittal of other accused was justified due to lack of evidence. The judgment reinforced the principle that the burden of proof lies on the prosecution to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeals filed by the convicted individuals.
