KOSHAL, J. ­

We have perused the judgment of the trial court which acquitted all the 21 accused arraigned before
it including the seven appellants, as also that of the High Court sentencing each of the appellants to
imprisonment for life for an offence under Section 302 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal
Code alleged to have been committed during the course of an occurrence as a result of which one
Bhanwar Singh of village Banbani and his three sons lost their lives. We have also been taken
through the relevant portions of the evidence by learned counsel for the appellants whom we have
heard at length in support of the appeal. After giving the case our serious considerations, we are of
the opinion that the impugned judgment calls for no interference inasmuch as we find ourselves in
full agreement with the conclusions arrived at by the High Court as also with the reasons put
forward by it in support there of and adopt the same. The appeal is accordingly dismissed.
