The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Virendra Singh and others under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Bhagirath, establishing that all accused shared a common intention to commit the crime. The Court clarified that even if one accused fired the fatal shot, others can be held liable under Section 34 IPC if they participated in the assault and encouraged the act. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment and conviction.
