Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC, Section 307 IPC, and Section 9(b)(1)(b) of the Indian Explosives Act, affirming the trial court's findings based on the testimonies of key witnesses. The Court reiterated that the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit murder was sufficiently established, justifying the imposition of life sentences and rigorous imprisonment. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was rejected, confirming the lower court's rulings and sentences.
