Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the acquittal of Raj Singh (A-2) and Rampal Singh (A-3) under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of seven individuals. The Court held that the High Court's decision to acquit these respondents was erroneous, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of evidence and the application of the principle of common intention under Section 34 IPC. The appeal was allowed, and the acquittal was set aside, reinstating the trial court's conviction and sentences against the accused.
