Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Shambhu Nath Singh and Ram Narain Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Ram Narain Singh, confirming their life imprisonment sentences. The Court found that the evidence of the sole eyewitness, PW8, was credible and corroborated, establishing the common intention to commit murder. However, the Court acquitted Raj Gir Singh, as his actions did not demonstrate sufficient common intention to be held liable under Section 34 IPC.
