Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Mahender, establishing that the prosecution must prove the intention to kill and the act of murder beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that the presence of multiple assailants and the use of firearms indicated a premeditated attack, thus affirming the High Court's decision. The appeals were dismissed, and the sentences were upheld, reinforcing the principle that collective criminal action warrants stringent punishment under the law.
