Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 148, 452, 323, and 302 IPC, affirming the High Court's sentence of life imprisonment for murder, along with additional sentences for other offences. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, sufficiently established the guilt of the accused. The judgment reinforced the principle that participation in a common intention to commit an offence can lead to collective liability under Section 149 IPC.
