Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Raju and Mangli under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming that their actions constituted a common intention to commit murder, despite their claim of not being armed. The Court found that the evidence, including eyewitness testimony and post-mortem findings, established their involvement in the attack leading to the victim's death. The appeal against their conviction was dismissed, and the life sentences were upheld, along with fines imposed.
