Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of culpability under Section 302 IPC in a case involving a family feud leading to multiple homicides. The Court established that the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit the crime is crucial for conviction under Section 34 IPC. The judgment upheld the conviction of the accused for murder, emphasizing the need for corroborative evidence to support the testimonies of eyewitnesses, particularly in cases involving family disputes.
