Swaminathan & Anr vs State Of Tamil Nadu

The Supreme Court held that the conviction of A.2 and A.3 under Section 34 IPC was not warranted as there was no evidence of pre-planning or common intention to commit the crime. The Court found that A.2 and A.3 acted spontaneously and caused only simple injuries with stones, while the fatal injury was inflicted by A.1 with a lathi. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and A.2 and A.3 were acquitted, with their bail bonds cancelled.
