The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 and Section 452 IPC, affirming the findings of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Court established that the prosecution successfully proved the presence of the accused at the crime scene and their active participation in the attack that resulted in the death of Man Singh. The Court also noted that the injuries inflicted were sufficient to cause death, thereby justifying the conviction under the relevant sections of the IPC.
