Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, reversing the Madras High Court's order that had overturned the trial court's acquittal. The Court established that the prosecution proved the appellant's involvement in a conspiracy to commit robbery, which resulted in the murder of the deceased. The Court emphasized the importance of the common intention among co-accused in criminal acts, affirming the life sentence imposed by the High Court.
