Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of six accused under Sections 302 and 149 IPC for the murder of Zuber, affirming the High Court's dismissal of their appeals. The Court reiterated that the presence of multiple assailants and the use of deadly weapons established a common intention to commit murder. The Court also noted that the injuries inflicted were sufficient to cause death, thereby justifying the convictions under the relevant sections of the IPC.
