Sikandar Singh & Ors vs State Of Bihar

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302, 307 IPC, and Section 27 of the Arms Act, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the Additional Sessions Judge's sentences for the murder of Upendra Singh. The Court established that the presence of a common intention among the accused, as evidenced by their armed assault and the exhortation to kill, justified the application of Section 149 IPC. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the life sentences and other penalties imposed on the appellants.
