Dhanapal & Ors vs State By Public Prosecutor, Madras

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to convict the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for murder, affirming the life sentence imposed. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the appellant's involvement in the crime. The appeal against the High Court's judgment was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that collective culpability under Section 34 IPC applies when multiple individuals act in concert to commit a crime.
