Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the culpability of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Umed Singh, establishing that the prosecution must prove the intention to kill or cause grievous injury. The Court held that the collective actions of the accused, armed with various weapons, demonstrated a clear intention to inflict fatal harm, thereby affirming the conviction under Section 302 IPC. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower court's ruling and the life sentences imposed on the accused.
