Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under various sections of the IPC, including Section 302 for murder and Section 149 for unlawful assembly, affirming that the accused acted in concert to commit the crime. The Court emphasized that the instigation by A1 and the subsequent actions of A2 to A5 constituted a clear case of conspiracy and premeditated murder. The appeal against the Madras High Court's judgment was dismissed, confirming the lower court's findings and sentences.
