DAHARI vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302, 149, and 148 IPC for the murder of Tej Bahadur, affirming the High Court's decision which partly allowed the appeal. The Court clarified that the acquittal of three co-accused did not negate the applicability of Section 149 IPC, as the remaining accused still acted in concert. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the sufficiency of evidence presented, thereby maintaining the life sentences and fines imposed by the lower courts.
