In Brief
In this criminal appeal, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of multiple appellants for murder under IPC sections 148, 302, and 149, relating to their participation in an unlawful assembly. The Court found the prosecution's evidence sufficient to establish that the assembly shared a common object to commit culpable homicide. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the sentences imposed, with one exception regarding an appellant convicted under section 324 IPC. The appellants were allowed three months to surrender before the competent court.
