SHAHJAHAN ALI vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the Appellant under Section 302 IPC, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, sufficiently established the Appellant's involvement in the murder. The Court also addressed the acquittal of the co-accused, which was reversed by the High Court, thereby reinforcing the principle that all participants in a crime can be held liable under Section 34 IPC for acts done in furtherance of a common intention.
