The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302/34 IPC, affirming the Trial Court's finding that the accused, armed with lethal weapons, collectively assaulted the deceased Gokul Singh, resulting in his death. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the dying declaration recorded by Dr. A.S. Khan, which corroborated the prosecution's case.
