Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Balwan, establishing that the prosecution proved the essential elements of murder, including intent and the use of lethal weapons. The Court emphasized that the collective actions of the accused, armed with axes and lathies, demonstrated a clear intention to kill, thereby affirming the trial court's findings. The appeal was dismissed, and the conviction and sentence were maintained.
