Judgment text excerpt
The appellants challenged their conviction and life imprisonment sentences under Sections 302/149 and 148 of the Indian Penal Code, which had been confirmed by the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The primary legal issue involves the determination of whether the evidence supported the conviction for murder committed in furtherance of common object. The court examined the findings of the trial court and High Court regarding the culpability of the accused in a joint liability scenario.
