Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the application of common intention in the commission of murder. The Court found that despite one of the accused being unarmed, the collective actions of all accused demonstrated a shared intent to kill, thus satisfying the requirements of Section 34 IPC. The appeals by the accused were dismissed, reinforcing the trial court's findings and the High Court's judgment.
