Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 302, 325, and 323 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the Sessions Court's judgment. The Court established that the presence of common intention among the accused was evident, justifying their collective liability for the violent acts resulting in the death of the victim. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentences imposed were upheld, reinforcing the principle that participation in a common unlawful assembly can lead to shared culpability for resultant offenses.
