Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 r/w 120-B and Section 364 r/w 120-B IPC for Sharda Jain (A-1), Raj Kumar (A-2), and Rajender (A-5), affirming the High Court's decision which had previously confirmed the Trial Court's findings. The Court found sufficient evidence of conspiracy and murder, rejecting the appeals of the convicted individuals. The judgment reinforces the principle that conspiratorial agreements leading to murder can result in joint liability under the IPC.
