Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Ku. Preeti, affirming that the act of running over the victim with a jeep constituted a clear case of murder with common intention. The Court found sufficient evidence of the appellants' involvement and intent, rejecting their claims of innocence. The acquittal of co-accused Ranvijay Singh was also noted, but the convictions of the other appellants were confirmed, leading to the dismissal of their appeals.
