Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Mohd. Jamil (A2) under Sections 302 and 323 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Akbar and injuries to others, while partially allowing the appeal of Mohd. Yunus (A1) by acquitting him of the murder charge but maintaining his conviction under Section 323 IPC. The Court noted that the acquittal of Akhtar Hussain (A4) was not challenged further, and Ghasita (A3) had died during the proceedings. The judgment clarified the application of Section 319 Cr.P.C. regarding the inclusion of additional accused during trial proceedings.
