Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302 IPC for murder and Sections 147, 148, and 149 IPC for rioting, affirming the High Court's judgment. The Court established that the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit the crime was evident, as they acted in concert with weapons during the assault. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, sufficiently supported the charges against the accused, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
