Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 147, 148, 323, 324, 307, and 302 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the findings of the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The Court established that the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit the offences was evident, particularly in the brutal attack that led to the death of the deceased. The appeal was dismissed, and the convictions were upheld, reinforcing the principle that collective criminal action can lead to individual liability under the IPC.
