Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for murder, affirming the death penalty imposed by the Additional Sessions Judge and confirmed by the High Court. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment reinforced the principle that in cases of murder, the collective intention of the accused plays a crucial role in determining culpability.
