Asharam Tiwari vs State of Madhya Pradesh

Bench: 2 — Navin Sinha

In Brief

The appellant was convicted along with three others for the murder of two persons in an incident arising from a land dispute. The deceased included a 12-year-old boy and his uncle. The Court upheld the conviction under Sections 302/34 IPC, finding credible evidence from injured family members and an eyewitness (the son of one deceased). The nature and number of hard and blunt injuries inflicted, combined with the recovery of bloodstained weapons on the appellant's confession and the coordinated manner in which all four accused acted, established common intention. The appeal was dismissed and the sentence upheld.
