Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the convictions under Sections 302 and 34 IPC, emphasizing that the High Court's conviction of the appellants was flawed due to the absence of specific charges under Section 302 read with Section 34. The Court held that the prosecution failed to establish which accused caused the fatal injuries, warranting a reconsideration of the convictions. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and directed a fresh trial on the basis of the proper charges.
