Jandel Singh vs State Of Madhya Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 120-B, 147, and 304 Part-I read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision that the evidence did not support a charge under Section 302 IPC due to lack of clarity on who inflicted the fatal injury. The Court emphasized that for a conviction under Section 304 IPC, the prosecution must establish the involvement of the accused in the unlawful assembly and the resultant death. The sentences of one year R.I. under Sections 120-B and 147 IPC and seven years R.I. under Section 304 Part-I IPC were confirmed, along with a fine of Rs. 7,000/- imposed by the High Court.
