DARBARA SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of three appellants under Sections 302 and 323 IPC for murder and causing simple hurt, respectively. The Court found that the medical evidence corroborated the eyewitness accounts, establishing the guilt of the appellants despite the acquittal of two co-accused. The Court clarified that while one appellant inflicted a vital injury sufficient to cause death, the absence of common intention for the other injuries led to a modification of the sentence for those not directly responsible for the fatal injury.
