Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Deo Narain under Sections 148 and 302/149 IPC, affirming that participation in an unlawful assembly with a common object to commit murder suffices for liability, regardless of specific injury attribution. The Court noted the presence of multiple blunt weapon injuries on the deceased, Ram Swarup, and dismissed the appellant's claims of doubt regarding his involvement, emphasizing the established animosity between the parties. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment.
