Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined whether the appellant shared a common intention with co-accused to commit murder under Section 302 read with Section 34 of the IPC. The court focused on the applicability of Section 34, given the limited scope of the appeal, and upheld the conviction and life sentence based on the evidence of shared intent. The judgment reaffirmed the importance of establishing common intention for joint liability in criminal acts. The court dismissed the appeal, maintaining the lower courts' verdict.
