The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Sanju, affirming the trial court's findings that the accused acted in concert to commit the crime. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the presence of the accused at the scene and their active participation in the murder, which was corroborated by eyewitness accounts and medical evidence.
