From the headnote

Penal Code, 1860-Section 304 II read with section 34-Culpable homicide not amounting to murder-Conviction and sentence of three accused -However, others acquitted-High Court upheld the order-SLP -of one accused dismissed-Plea of remaining accused that section 34 not applicable-On appeal held: ·On facts proved that criminal act committed in furtherance of common intention-Medical evidence that head injury sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death-Also there was no motive to cause death-Hence section 34 rightly applied by courts below for convicting accused under section 304 II
