Meerza Jamshed Baig vs State Of Andhra Pradesh

The Supreme Court held that the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC was not justified as the evidence did not establish that he inflicted the fatal injury on the deceased. The Court found that the appellant could not be convicted under Section 302/34 IPC due to the absence of common intention, given that three co-accused were acquitted. Consequently, the Court set aside the conviction and sentence, acquitting the appellant and ordering his immediate release.
