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 34 IPC. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the involvement of the appellants in the murder of Jogadia and the assault on Thavlibai. The Court also noted the applicability of Section 323 IPC for the injuries inflicted on the witnesses, leading to the conviction of the appellants for these charges as well.
