Indira Devi vs State Of Himachal Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 307 read with Section 149 IPC and Section 148 IPC for the three female appellants and their male co-accused, affirming the lower courts' findings. The Court noted that the appellants' argument regarding contradictions in the victim's testimony was insufficient to overturn the convictions, as the evidence supported their involvement in a common object with the male accused. The Court emphasized that the application of Section 149 IPC was appropriate given the circumstances of the case, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
