Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Bhagat Singh, affirming that the prosecution established the necessary intent and participation of both accused in the crime. The Court noted that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and recovery of the weapon, was sufficient to support the conviction. The appeal of Ajay Singh abated due to his death during proceedings, leaving the conviction of Mohan Singh and Kailash Singh intact.
