Md. Rustam @ Rustam vs The State Of Bihar

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act, affirming that the appellant's presence and actions during the incident constituted complicity in the murder of Manir Mian. The Court noted that although the appellant did not directly kill the deceased, his involvement and the exhortation from his father established a common intention to commit the crime. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the life sentence and additional three years of rigorous imprisonment imposed by the lower courts.
