Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Subhash Mahto under Section 302 IPC for his involvement in the murder of Ramanand Mahto, where he was found to have participated in the act of holding the deceased while others inflicted fatal injuries. The Court rejected the appellant's argument for differential treatment based on the nature of his involvement, affirming that the evidence against him was sufficient to sustain the conviction. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court.
