Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Hansraj Singh, affirming the findings of the Rajasthan High Court. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the presence of eyewitnesses and the use of lethal weapons, which were critical in proving the case beyond reasonable doubt. The Court dismissed the appeal, maintaining the life sentence and fine imposed by the lower courts, thereby reinforcing the principle that collective culpability under Section 34 IPC applies when multiple individuals participate in a crime.
