Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 147, 148, and 302 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, affirming the Bombay High Court's decision. The Court established that the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit the crime was evident, and the evidence presented sufficiently proved their involvement in the murder. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the lower court's ruling on the conviction and sentence.
