RAMU GOPE AND ORS. vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC for their involvement in an unlawful assembly that resulted in the death of B. The Court ruled that the acquittal of H did not invalidate the convictions of the other members of the assembly, as there was sufficient evidence to establish that B was attacked by the assembly. The Court clarified that the absence of a named offender does not absolve other members of liability if the conditions of Section 149 IPC are met.
