Chacko Alias Aniyan Kunju & Ors vs State Of Kerala

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the homicidal death of Kuttappan, affirming that the prosecution established the common intention among the accused to commit the crime. The Court found that the evidence, including eyewitness testimony and a dying declaration, sufficiently supported the conviction despite the defense's claims of self-defense and lack of overt acts by one accused. The appeal against the Kerala High Court's dismissal of their conviction was rejected, and the life sentences were maintained.
