Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A2 under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the High Court's ruling that common intention was established despite A2 not being armed and coming from a different direction. The Court clarified that under Section 34 IPC, liability arises from the existence of a common intention among co-accused, allowing for conviction even if the accused did not directly cause the death. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the life sentence imposed by the trial court for A2.
