BHUPENDRA SINGH vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 147, 302, 307, and 149 IPC, affirming the findings of the trial court regarding the involvement of the accused in a mob attack resulting in the death of Jugendra Pal Singh. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented by the prosecution, including eyewitness accounts, was credible and sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused. The appeal was dismissed, and the convictions were maintained, reinforcing the principle that collective culpability under Section 149 IPC applies when a group acts in furtherance of a common intention.
