Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Tara Singh, affirming the High Court's finding of guilt based on the evidence of eyewitnesses and the nature of injuries inflicted. The Court emphasized that the presence of a common intention among the accused to kill was established, and the acquittal by the Sessions Judge was found to be erroneous. The appeals filed by the accused were dismissed, and the life sentences imposed by the High Court were upheld.
