Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A-10 for conspiracy and murder under Section 120B and Section 302 IPC, affirming that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the involvement of A-10 in the premeditated killing of Satinder Sekhon. The Court dismissed the appeals of A-1 to A-4 as infructuous since they had already served their sentences. The judgment reinforced the principle that conspiracy can be inferred from the actions and conduct of the accused in furtherance of a common intention.
