SACHIN JANA vs STATE OF WEST BENGAL

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 307 IPC, stating that the evidence of the injured parties established their guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court clarified that the application of Section 34 IPC was appropriate as the appellants acted with a common intention to cause grievous harm. The sentence of ten years imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 2,000 was deemed justified given the severity of the injuries inflicted, which included acid burns that could have resulted in death.
