Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 304 Part I IPC, Section 325 IPC, and Section 323 IPC, affirming the sentence of ten years rigorous imprisonment and fines imposed by the Additional Sessions Judge. The Court found that the appellants acted in concert with a common intention to cause grievous hurt leading to the death of the deceased, establishing the necessary mens rea for the charges. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, reinforcing the principles of culpability under Section 34 IPC.
