Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC read with Sections 149, 147, and 148 IPC for the murder of Raj Kumar, establishing that the presence of a strong motive of enmity and the coordinated actions of the accused constituted a common intention to commit murder. The Court emphasized that the exhortation by Ram Naresh to kill the deceased further solidified the conspiracy among the accused. The appeals filed by the convicted individuals were dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment.
