Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of the appellants against their conviction under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Parasachinna Ramababu. The Court noted that the High Court had reversed the Trial Court's acquittal based on witness testimonies, which the appellants contended were inconsistent and unreliable. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the conviction and life imprisonment of the appellants, establishing that the presence of common intention among the accused was sufficiently demonstrated.
