STATE OF BIHAR vs SODHAN DAIBAGANS

The Supreme Court overturned the Karnataka High Court's decision that acquitted the respondents of charges under Section 302 IPC, holding that the High Court erred in its assessment of evidence and the application of the law. The Court established that the presence of an unlawful assembly and the intent to kill were sufficiently proven, thus reaffirming the trial court's conviction. The appeal was allowed, and the respondents were convicted under Section 302 IPC for murder.
