Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ramesh Kumar and Gopal Prasad under Sections 302/34 and 341/34 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the High Court's decision which maintained their life sentences. The Court reiterated that the presence of common intention among the accused was established, as they collectively attacked the deceased, leading to his death. The judgment emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in establishing the guilt of the accused in cases involving multiple perpetrators.
