Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Rawata, affirming the findings of the Sessions Court and the High Court. The Court found that the evidence of witnesses PW 4 Rameshwar, PW 2 Mamraj, and PW 5 Tulsi was credible and consistent, despite the defense's claims of contradictions. The Court ruled that the appellants' actions demonstrated a common intention to commit murder, thus justifying the conviction under the relevant sections of the IPC.
