Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Messo and Raj Bala, establishing that the prosecution proved the motive and the act of murder beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that threats made by the accused prior to the incident indicated a clear intention to kill, satisfying the requirements of Section 34 IPC for common intention. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal were therefore rejected, affirming the lower court's judgment.
