Nand Kishore vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Nand Kishore under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Sessions Judge. The Court found that the prosecution had established the common intention among the accused, as Nand Kishore was actively involved in the assault by pelting stones while the other accused stabbed the victim. The Court rejected the argument of lack of direct evidence and contradictions in witness statements, holding that the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the conviction.
