PIPAL SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC for murder, affirming the High Court's finding of common intention among the accused. The Court clarified that the acquittal of some co-accused does not preclude the conviction of remaining accused if they acted with a common intention. The Court found no merit in the appellants' arguments regarding their individual culpability and the applicability of Section 304 Part II IPC, thus dismissing the appeals.
