Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Rajasthan High Court's judgment dated 16th March 2007, which altered the convictions under Sections 302 and 307 read with Section 34 IPC. The Court upheld the conviction of Raju @ Rajendra and Pappu @ Ranjeet Singh for murder and attempted murder, affirming the application of Section 34 IPC for joint liability. The acquittal of the remaining accused was also scrutinized, leading to the dismissal of the State's appeal against their acquittal.
