Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 302 and 149 IPC for the murder of Vijay, establishing that the prosecution must prove the existence of a common intention among the accused to commit the crime. The Court clarified that the addition of Umed Singh as an accused under Section 319 CrPC did not necessitate a change in the charges, as the evidence supported the original charges framed. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, affirming the life sentence and fine imposed by the lower courts.
