Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC for murder, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Sessions Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the appellant's involvement in the attack that led to the death of Satti, despite the High Court altering the convictions of other co-accused. The Court emphasized the necessity of establishing a common intention among the accused under Section 149 IPC, which was satisfied in this case.
