Ramvir vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the High Court's decision which also convicted him under Sections 148 and 149 IPC for rioting and unlawful assembly. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the appellant's direct involvement in the murder of Siya Ram, supported by eyewitness testimony. The appeal was dismissed, and the conviction was maintained, reinforcing the principle that participation in a common unlawful assembly leading to murder attracts liability under Sections 148 and 149 IPC.
