Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A-1 and A-2 under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the High Court's decision which found them guilty along with A-5 under Sections 302/149 IPC and 148 IPC. The Court clarified that the unlawful assembly's common object was to commit murder, and the evidence supported the conviction of A-1 and A-2. The appeals by A-1 and A-2 against their conviction were dismissed, reinforcing the principle that participation in an unlawful assembly with a common object can lead to liability for murder under Section 302 IPC.
