Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC, affirming that the appellant shared a common intention to murder the deceased alongside two other accused. The Court noted that the evidence of eyewitnesses, including the first informant and his uncle, established the appellant's involvement in the crime. The motive was linked to a property dispute, as one of the accused had a vested interest in the land cultivated by the deceased. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' judgments.
