Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC, affirming the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision which altered the conviction under Section 307 IPC to Section 325 IPC for one appellant. The Court emphasized the applicability of Section 34 IPC, establishing that when multiple individuals act in concert to commit a crime, all can be held liable for the actions taken. The Court found sufficient evidence from eyewitnesses to support the conviction, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
