Lakshmi Singh And Ors. vs State Of Bihar on 10 September, 1976

In fact paragraph no. 13 of the said judgment rendered in the case of Lakshmi Singh (supra) has also been referred and it has been submitted that though it is not necessary for the defence to prove its case with the same rigor as the prosecution is required to prove its case, however it is sufficient if the defence succeeds in showing a reasonable doubt with regard to the case of the prosecution and the same would be sufficient to enable the Court to reject the prosecution version. It is thus submitted that in the present case neither the Investigating Officer has been examined nor any blood-stained mud/clothes have been seized much less have been marked as material exhibits, hence in absence of any seizure list, the prosecution has failed to prove the guilt of the appellants beyond all reasonable doubt.

Krishnappa & Ors vs State Of Karnataka By Babaleshwara P.S on 31 July, 2012

45. Thus, this Court in Krishnappa case [(2012) 11 SCC 237] held that Section 149 IPC creates a constructive or vicarious liability of the members of the unlawful assembly for the unlawful acts committed pursuant to the common object by any other member of that assembly. By application of this principle, every member of an unlawful assembly is roped in to be held guilty of the offence committed by any member of that assembly in prosecution of the common object of that assembly. The factum of causing injury or not causing injury would not be relevant when an accused is roped in with the aid of Section 149IPC. The question which is relevant and which is required to be answered by the court is whether the accused was a member of an unlawful assembly and not whether he actually took part in the crime or not.
