Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of a conviction under Sections 302/148 of the Indian Penal Code, which was modified by the High Court to Section 302 with the aid of Section 149 IPC. The case involved appellants challenging their life imprisonment sentence for a murder conviction. The Court analyzed whether the evidence supported the application of Section 149 IPC, which requires a common object among the accused. Ultimately, the Court upheld the conviction and sentence, affirming the High Court's judgment.
