Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Andhra Pradesh High Court's alteration of conviction from Section 302 IPC to Section 326 IPC, emphasizing that the evidence presented warranted a conviction for murder under Section 302 IPC. The Court established that the intent to kill was evident from the actions of the accused, who conspired and executed a plan to murder the deceased. The Supreme Court reinstated the original conviction under Section 302 IPC, thereby affirming the trial court's judgment.
