Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Rohtash and Ashok, affirming the High Court's decision which sustained the trial court's sentence of life imprisonment and a fine. The Court found that the prosecution had established the presence of the appellants at the crime scene and their active participation in the assault, which resulted in the deaths of the victims. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' findings and the legal principles regarding joint liability in criminal acts.
