The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 143, 148, 323, 325, and 302 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the trial court's findings that the accused participated in a mob attack leading to the death of Felix Felicio Monteiro. The Court emphasized that the presence of common intention among the accused was established, justifying the application of Section 149 IPC. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentences imposed by the trial court were confirmed.
