Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sobhat Singh and Suresh under Sections 302 and 34 IPC for the murder of Chander Bhan, establishing that the prosecution proved the essential elements of conspiracy and intent to kill. The Court emphasized that the presence of the accused at the crime scene and their actions before and after the incident were critical in affirming their culpability. The appeals were dismissed, and the High Court's decision was affirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that participation in a conspiracy can lead to liability for the substantive offense committed by co-conspirators.
