Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of two individuals, affirming the trial court's findings based on substantial evidence including witness testimonies and material exhibits. The Court noted that the appellant, along with co-accused, attacked the deceased with lethal weapons during a dispute over road construction, leading to fatal injuries. The conviction was maintained despite the appeal, reinforcing the legal principle that direct involvement in violent acts resulting in death constitutes murder under Section 302 IPC.
