PARASA RAJA MANIKYALA RAO vs STATE OF A.P.

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of two appellants convicted 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 argued were inconsistent and improbable. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction, affirming that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the common intention among the accused to commit murder, thus reinforcing the principle that collective culpability can be established under Section 34 IPC.
