Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 and Section 307 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the findings of the Allahabad High Court. The Court emphasized that the presence of common intention among the accused was established, as they collectively assaulted the deceased and injured others during the incident. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that participation in a group attack can lead to liability under Section 149 IPC.
