STATE OF M.P. vs SUGHAR SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals arising from the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision which set aside the conviction under Sections 143, 302 read with 149, and 324 read with 149 IPC. The Court emphasized that for a conviction under Section 302 IPC, the prosecution must establish the common object of the unlawful assembly, which was not sufficiently proven in this case. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's order, leading to the acquittal of the accused.
