Dharam & Others vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 148, 302, 323, and 324/149 IPC, affirming the life sentence for the appellants for the murder of Partap Singh. The Court found that the prosecution established a clear motive related to a land dispute and that the injuries inflicted were sufficient to cause death. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the High Court's decision, thereby reinforcing the principle that collective culpability under Section 149 IPC applies when multiple individuals act in concert to commit an offense.
