Gangaram Shantaram Salunkhe vs The State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Gangaram Shantaram Salunkhe under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Bhaulal Jadhav, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Trial Court. The Court found that the prosecution had established the involvement of the accused in a premeditated attack, and the evidence presented was sufficient to support the conviction. The appeal against the High Court's judgment was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that participation in a common intention to commit a crime can lead to joint liability under the IPC.
