RAJU vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the Appellants, Raju and Mangli, under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Ishwar, affirming that their actions constituted a common intention to commit the crime despite being empty-handed during the attack. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, sufficiently established their involvement in the murder. The appeal against their conviction was dismissed, and the life sentences were upheld, along with the fines imposed.
