JAGDISH vs THE STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 302 IPC concerning murder and Section 149 IPC regarding unlawful assembly. The Court emphasized that for a conviction under Section 302, the prosecution must establish the presence of common intention among the accused. The judgment upheld the conviction of the accused, affirming that the evidence presented sufficiently demonstrated their involvement in the crime as part of an unlawful assembly, thus reinforcing the principles of collective liability under the IPC.
