Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the conviction of multiple accused in a triple murder case, where the trial court convicted some and acquitted others. The appeal focused on the legal sufficiency of evidence and the framing of charges under various sections of the IPC, particularly Sections 302, 148, 149, 34, and 201. The Court analyzed whether the evidence supported the convictions and the procedural correctness of the trial. Ultimately, the Court upheld the convictions and clarified the scope of joint liability under Sections 34 and 149 of IPC.
