Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 143, 147, 148, 323, 324, and 302 IPC, affirming the Kerala High Court's decision that the accused formed an unlawful assembly with the intent to kill the deceased, Gangadharan Pillai. The Court emphasized that the presence of deadly weapons and the coordinated attack on the deceased and PW1 demonstrated a clear intention to commit murder. The sentences imposed by the trial court were confirmed, including life imprisonment for the main accused under Section 302 IPC.
