The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Idris, affirming the High Court's decision which found that the appellants had acted in concert with a common intention to kill. The Court emphasized that the presence of weapons and the coordinated attack demonstrated a clear intent to cause death, satisfying the requirements of Section 34 IPC. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the life sentences imposed by the lower courts.
