Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 148 and 302/149 IPC for the murder of Peera Singh, affirming the High Court's judgment. The Court established that the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit murder was evident, as they acted in concert with weapons. The sentence of life imprisonment was confirmed, emphasizing the gravity of the crime and the need for deterrence against such acts of violence.
