Sardul Singh vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court examined appeals arising from a common occurrence where multiple individuals were charged with murder under Sections 302, 148, and 149 of the Indian Penal Code. The trial court had convicted Accused No. 1 (Jagtar Singh) for murder while acquitting the remaining co-accused due to lack of evidence beyond reasonable doubt. The Court analyzed whether the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the conviction of the primary accused given the acquittal of the others.
