Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant, Parveen @ Sonu, for his involvement in a violent attempt to rescue accused individuals from police custody, which resulted in the death of Head Constable Arjun Singh. The court found that the High Court had correctly dismissed the appeal against the conviction, as the evidence presented substantiated the charges of conspiracy and murder. The judgment reinforces the principle that violence against law enforcement officials will be dealt with severely under the law.
