KAPARAPU APPARAO vs STATE OF A.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kaparapu Apparao under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the High Court's finding that the injury inflicted was sufficient to cause death. However, it set aside the convictions of Gantyada Ramulu, Peddada Demudu, and Gantyada Nookaraju under Section 302 IPC, as the injuries they inflicted were not grievous or fatal, and convicted them under Section 324 IPC instead. The Court held that the absence of common intention among the accused warranted individual assessments of their actions.
