MAINA SINGH vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in convicting the appellant under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC, as the co-accused were acquitted and there was no evidence to suggest that the appellant acted in concert with any unnamed person. The Court clarified that the appellant could only be held liable for any individual offense he committed, which was determined to be under Section 326 IPC for voluntarily causing grievous hurt. The appeal was allowed in part, modifying the conviction accordingly.
