Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the respondents under Sections 302/149, 307/149, 147, 148, and 452 IPC, emphasizing that the presence of multiple injuries on the deceased and the injured eyewitnesses corroborated the prosecution's case. The Court held that the High Court erred in its assessment of the evidence, particularly regarding the nature of the injuries and the weapons used, which were consistent with the testimonies of the eyewitnesses. The Court reinstated the conviction of the respondents, affirming the Trial Court's findings.
