Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants for offenses under Sections 148 and 302 read with Section 149 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. The court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the involvement of the accused in a mob attack that resulted in murder. The sentences of life imprisonment and fines were deemed appropriate given the gravity of the offenses committed.
