Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to acquit several accused and alter the convictions of others from Sections 302/149 IPC and 307/149 IPC to Sections 302/34 IPC and 307/34 IPC. The Court emphasized that the prosecution failed to establish the common intention required under Section 34 IPC, leading to the alteration of convictions. The judgment clarifies the application of Sections 302 and 307 IPC in the context of shared criminal intent among co-accused.
