The Court held that prosecution proved murder under section 302 read with section 34 via clause (c) of section 300: the 2nd appellant intentionally inflicted injuries (smothering) sufficient in ordinary course to cause death and the 1st appellant shared the common intention as inferred from CCTV, seizure of looted items, conduct (removal of CCTV decoder, disposal of items), joint flight and admissionary acts; circumstantial evidence cumulatively excluded reasonable alternative hypotheses; therefore conviction and mandatory death sentences were upheld.
