The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Selvam @ Thangaraj, establishing that circumstantial evidence, including prior enmity and confessions, sufficiently proved the appellant's involvement in the crime. The Court affirmed the Trial Court's findings that the murder was committed in furtherance of a common intention between the accused. The appeal was dismissed, and the life sentence along with a fine of Rs. 10,000 was upheld.
