Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Appalasamy and Appallanaidu, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the guilt of the accused. The Court clarified that the acquittal of some accused under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC was justified due to lack of common object, but the individual culpability of the convicted appellants was maintained.
