The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC along with Sections 143, 147, 148, and 323 IPC, confirming the High Court's decision. The Court established that the use of deadly weapons in a premeditated attack constituted murder, and the presence of multiple accused indicated a common intention to commit the crime. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the sentence imposed by the lower courts.
