KARAN SINGH vs STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH

The Supreme Court held that despite the acquittal of R in a separate trial, the appellant could still be convicted under Sections 302 and 307 IPC read with Section 34 IPC based on the evidence presented. The court established that each case must be decided on its own evidence, and the acquittal of a co-accused does not preclude the conviction of another if the evidence supports it. The appellant's conviction was upheld, affirming the High Court's decision to alter the charges accordingly.
