Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which concurred with the trial court's findings. The Court addressed the procedural argument regarding the lack of committal to the Sessions Court, referencing the precedent in State of M. P. v. Bhooraji & Ors., and concluded that the trial was valid despite the procedural lapse. The appellants were sentenced to life imprisonment, with a fine, for their involvement in the murder of the deceased, Dhruv @ Daulat.
