Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302 and 307 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which partly confirmed the Sessions Court's judgment. The Court established that the presence of a common intention among the accused was evident, leading to the fatal assault on the deceased. The appeals of the convicted appellants were dismissed, and the sentences of rigorous imprisonment for life and fines were maintained.
