Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that quashed the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC, holding that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court reaffirmed the applicability of Section 149 IPC, emphasizing that the presence of the accused at the scene and their collective intention to commit the crime were adequately demonstrated. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the life sentences imposed by the Trial Court, thereby affirming the original conviction.
