Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 148, 302 read with 149, 307 read with 149 of the Indian Penal Code, and Sections 4/5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908, affirming the lower court's judgment. The case involved a violent attack using country-made bombs, resulting in death and injuries. The court examined the evidence and confirmed the sentence of rigorous imprisonment ranging from 3 years to life, all to run concurrently. The judgment reinforces the application of criminal liability in cases involving communal violence and explosive substances.
