Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC for the appellants involved in the murder of Guru Ram Ratan Giri, establishing that the involvement of multiple accused in a premeditated plan constituted a clear case of conspiracy under Section 120B IPC. The Court affirmed the life sentences imposed by the trial court, emphasizing the sufficiency of evidence provided by eyewitnesses and the motive rooted in a property dispute. The judgment reinforced the principle that participation in a joint enterprise leading to homicide can attract liability under Section 34 IPC.
