Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing the severity of the injuries inflicted, which included deep cut injuries exposing fractured bones and severed nerves. The Court found that the appellant acted with common intention alongside co-accused, justifying the dismissal of the appeal. The judgment reinforced the principle that the nature and extent of injuries can indicate the intent to kill, leading to the conclusion that the appeal lacked merit.
