Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC and Section 149 IPC, affirming the life sentences for the accused involved in a violent incident leading to multiple deaths, including that of a child. The Court found that the evidence from four injured witnesses and two eyewitnesses was credible, despite arguments regarding the intent to kill and the absence of certain medical evidence. The Court clarified that the common objective of the accused was to commit robbery, but the violent actions resulted in culpable homicide, justifying the convictions under the relevant sections of the IPC.
