Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Shivji Ram, establishing that the prosecution proved the presence of all accused at the scene and their active participation in the attack. The Court emphasized that the use of deadly weapons and the collective assault demonstrated a premeditated intent to kill. The appeals for enhancement of sentence by the State were also considered, affirming the lower court's decision on the matter.
