J. Ramulu vs State Of Andhra Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of G. Venkatesh and J. Ramulu under Section 302 IPC for the murder of G. Janardhan, affirming the life sentences and fines imposed by the lower courts. The Court found sufficient evidence of premeditated murder, including the use of acid as a weapon, and confirmed that the actions of the accused were in furtherance of a common intention under Section 34 IPC. The appeals were dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that joint liability exists when multiple parties act in concert to commit a crime.
