Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 148, 302 read with 149, 452, and 325 read with 149 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the life imprisonment sentence for the murder of Badri. The Court found that the collective actions of the accused, armed with lethal weapons, resulted in the death of the deceased, establishing the necessary intent and participation under the relevant sections. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that joint liability exists in cases of unlawful assembly leading to murder.
