Rachapalli Abbulu & Ors vs State Of A.P

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC for ten accused involved in the murder of Thota Nagaraju and Thota Abbayi, affirming the High Court's dismissal of their appeals. The Court emphasized that the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit the murders was established, and the acquittal of some accused was justified based on the evidence. The judgment reinforced the principle that participation in a group attack can lead to liability under Section 149 IPC, even if individual roles vary.
