Rangnath Shamrao Dhas & Ors vs State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 304 Part II read with Section 149 IPC for the murder of Krishna, establishing that the presence of a common intention among the accused was evident from their coordinated attack with weapons. The Court clarified that the conviction under Section 302 IPC was not warranted as the evidence did not support a finding of premeditated murder. The appeal by the appellants was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
