Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Kesharbai, affirming the High Court's decision that common intention to kill could be inferred from the circumstances of the case. The Court noted that the brutal nature of the attack, involving multiple assailants and the use of deadly weapons, indicated a shared intent to commit murder. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the life sentence imposed by the lower courts.
