STATE OF HARYANA vs CHANDVIR & ORS

The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the accused under Sections 302 and 149 IPC, stating that the prosecution failed to establish a common intention to kill the deceased Rajpal. The Court noted that the incidents leading to the death were part of a free fight between two parties, and the evidence did not support a conviction based on the testimonies of injured witnesses. The Court emphasized the need for independent consideration of each accused's liability, given the lack of clarity regarding the involvement of each in the crime.
