Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302 and 307 read with Section 149 IPC for the appellants involved in a brutal attack resulting in the deaths of Gian Singh and Nishan Singh. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision which partly overturned the trial court's acquittal of some accused, establishing that all participants in the attack shared common intent and were liable for the murders. The Court emphasized the principle of joint liability in criminal conspiracies, affirming life sentences and fines imposed by the lower courts.
