Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Buta Singh, affirming that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, established their culpability. The Court emphasized that the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit the crime was evident, thus justifying the application of Section 34 IPC. The appeal was dismissed, and the life sentences imposed by the Trial Court were upheld.
