Summary: Crl.A. No. 302/2002 – State of Kerala v. Vijayan @ Pottu Vijayan The Supreme Court dismissed Kerala's appeal on 27 November 2008. Both the Trial Court and High Court acquitted Vijayan of murder charges under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC, though the High Court convicted him under Section 341 IPC, sentencing him to one month imprisonment and Rs. 500 fine. The Supreme Court found no perversity in the lower courts' judgments, holding that the prosecution failed to conclusively establish common intention between the accused and co-accused for committing the murder.
