RADHA MOHAN SINGH @ LAL SAHEB vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 147, 148, 323, 324, and 302 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the life sentence imposed for murder. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, established the involvement of the accused in a premeditated attack on the deceased, Hira Singh, during a public festival. The judgment of the Allahabad High Court was confirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that participation in a group attack can lead to collective liability under Section 149 IPC.
