Najabhai Desurbhai Wagh vs Valerabhai Deganbhai Vagh & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Accused No.10 under Section 302 IPC simpliciter and affirmed the life sentence imposed, while reversing the acquittals of Accused Nos.1 and 2 under Section 302 read with Section 34/149 IPC. The Court emphasized the necessity of establishing a common intention among the accused for the application of Section 34 IPC. The judgment of the High Court was partly set aside, maintaining convictions under Sections 324 and 325 IPC for certain accused, while others were acquitted of serious charges.
