Sachin Jana And Anr vs State Of West Bengal

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 307 IPC, stating that the evidence presented by the prosecution, particularly from witnesses who suffered severe acid burns, established the appellants' guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court clarified that Section 34 IPC applies as the appellants acted with a common intention to commit the crime. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to convict the appellants while acquitting twelve co-accused persons, and the sentence of ten years imprisonment was deemed appropriate given the severity of the injuries inflicted.
