Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Gopal and Mahesh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Rameshwar and Prabhat, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed their life sentences. The Court found that the prosecution established the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit the murders, rejecting the defense's claim that the complainant's party were the aggressors. The Court emphasized that the injuries sustained by the accused did not negate their culpability in the violent incident.
