Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including murder and rioting. The court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the circumstances surrounding the incident, sufficiently established the guilt of the accused. Consequently, the appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
