Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302, 307, 143, 147, 148, 324, 326, 427, and 449 read with Section 149 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision to reduce the sentence under Section 307 from life imprisonment to 10 years rigorous imprisonment. The Court found sufficient evidence of a premeditated attack by an unlawful assembly with the intent to murder, confirming the trial court's findings. The appeal was dismissed, and the modified sentences were maintained.
