Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A-1 Ravi under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Shanmugam, affirming the High Court's decision which found that the accused formed an unlawful assembly with a common object to kill the deceased. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, sufficiently established the guilt of A-1. The acquittal of A-2 was not challenged by the State, leading to the conclusion that the appeal against A-1's conviction was dismissed, thereby maintaining the lower court's ruling.
