Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the conviction of A.2 and A.3 under Section 34 IPC was not warranted as there was no pre-planning or common intention established between them and A.1. The Court found that A.2 and A.3 acted spontaneously and caused only simple injuries, without knowledge of A.1's lethal actions. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and A.2 and A.3 were acquitted, with their bail bonds cancelled.
