Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 and Section 149 IPC for murder, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the trial court's findings based on eyewitness accounts and post-mortem evidence. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, rejecting the appellants' claims of disjointed evidence. The life imprisonment sentence was maintained, reinforcing the principle that collective culpability under Section 149 IPC applies when multiple individuals are involved in a common unlawful intention.
