KHUMAN SINGH vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellants were guilty of murder in a group attack resulting in the death of Rayla. The Court found that the evidence established the appellants' participation in the assault, which was not merely a trivial dispute but escalated to a fatal attack. The Court rejected the appellants' argument that the injuries were not intended to cause death, emphasizing that the nature and number of injuries inflicted indicated a clear intent to kill.
