Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the Appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Tillu, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the appeal. The Court emphasized that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, established the Appellant's active participation in the assault that led to Tillu's death. The Court reiterated that the intent to kill can be inferred from the use of a deadly weapon and the nature of the injuries inflicted, thereby confirming the lower courts' findings.
