In Brief
The appellants challenged their conviction for murder and causing hurt under IPC Sections 302 and 324 before the Supreme Court. The appellants claimed a right of private defence, contending the deceased were unarmed and that they had acted without premeditation. The Court upheld the conviction, holding that since the deceased carried no weapons, private defence was unavailable. Multiple wound injuries demonstrated premeditation and deliberate, cruel action rather than spontaneous defence. No error was found in the High Court's order warranting interference, and the appeal was dismissed accordingly."
