Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 34 read with Section 307 IPC, affirming that the common intention to kill was established through the actions and statements of the accused during the incident. The Court clarified that it is not necessary for bodily injury capable of causing death to be inflicted for a charge under Section 307 to be made out, as the intention to kill suffices. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentence of three years imprisonment was upheld, with no reduction in the sentence despite the appellant's argument regarding the nature of the injuries.
