Chander Pal @ Raj Pal vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court examined the convictions under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC, where seven accused were convicted for murder and other offences. The Court found that the prosecution failed to establish a common object to kill Megh Shyam, as there was no evidence of motive or enmity against him. Consequently, the Court acquitted the appellants, holding that the unlawful assembly's intent was not to cause death, thereby reversing the High Court's confirmation of their convictions.
