Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Naimuddin under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Munshi Basiruddin, affirming the findings of the Calcutta High Court. The Court established that both appellants participated in the assault, resulting in the victim's instantaneous death due to injuries inflicted by bricks. The appeal was dismissed, and the life imprisonment sentence along with a fine was confirmed, as the evidence supported the conviction beyond reasonable doubt.
