Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Shibcharan Pal, establishing that the prosecution must prove the common intention of the accused in committing the crime. The Court emphasized that circumstantial evidence, including the immediate actions of the appellants and the context of the murder, sufficiently linked them to the crime. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the life sentence imposed by the lower courts.
