Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 147, 302, 307 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the findings of the trial court regarding the involvement of the accused in a premeditated attack resulting in the death of Jugendra Pal Singh. The Court clarified that the application of Section 149 IPC was appropriate given the collective action of the accused in furtherance of a common intention. The appeal was dismissed, and the convictions were maintained despite the arguments regarding the credibility of witness testimonies.
