ANTAR SINGH vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Kesharbai, affirming the High Court's decision which modified the Sessions Court's ruling. The Court established that common intention among the accused can be inferred from the circumstances, including the brutal nature of the attack and the presence of multiple assailants armed with deadly weapons. The Court found no merit in the appellant's argument that he lacked common intention, given the coordinated assault on the victim.
