Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of five accused under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC for their involvement in a factional murder case. The Court emphasized that the presence of a common object among the accused, as per Section 149 IPC, was established, justifying their collective liability for the murder. The appeal against the life imprisonment sentence was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' findings regarding the brutal attack on the victims and the subsequent evidence presented.
