ONKARNATH SINGH AND ORS. vs THE STATE OF U. P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 307 read with Sections 149 and 148 of the Indian Penal Code, reversing the Allahabad High Court's earlier acquittal. The Court established that the presence of a common intention among the accused to commit the crime was evident, and the use of deadly weapons indicated the seriousness of the attack. The Court held that the evidence presented was sufficient to prove the guilt of the appellants beyond reasonable doubt, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal.
