As per case facts, deceased Raj Kumar was fatally shot in the head by Santosh Kumar Yadav after being stopped by a group of accused near a veterinary hospital. The ... incident, witnessed by the complainant, Raj Kumar's brother, followed a long-standing property dispute and prior altercations. The accused were charged under various IPC sections including those related to unlawful assembly. The question arose whether all accused could be convicted under Sections 147 and 302/149 IPC, given the vague evidence of a common object for the alleged unlawful assembly and the single fatal shot fired by one accused. Finally, the court ruled that while most accused were acquitted due to lack of cogent evidence for a common object of unlawful assembly, Santosh Kumar Yadav was individually convicted under Section 302 IPC for causing the fatal injury, which was independently sufficient to cause death, and under Section 25 Arms Act, upholding that conviction under Section 302 simpliciter is permissible.
