State Of Madhya Pradesh vs Sardar

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of accused Ahmad Noor, Daulat, and Sikander under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for murder, affirming the life sentences imposed by the trial court. The Court found that the High Court's acquittal of Sardar was erroneous, as the evidence supported his involvement in the crime. The Court emphasized that the presence of multiple assailants and the violent nature of the attack justified the convictions, thereby reinforcing the principle that all participants in a joint enterprise can be held liable for the actions taken in furtherance of that enterprise.
