Jaleshwar Singh vs State Of Bihar

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Accused No.1 under Section 302 IPC read with Section 109 IPC for abetting murder, affirming the life sentence imposed by the trial court. The Court found sufficient evidence of a conspiracy and active participation in the crime, as established by the testimonies of eyewitnesses. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that abetment can be inferred from the actions and words of the accused during the commission of the crime.
