ANANT KATHOD PAWAR V/S STATE OF MAHARASHTRA 1998 S C C (CRI )199 sudden and free fight between two groups in which members of both groups sustained injuries. Conviction of members of one of those groups under section 147 odd 148 and for substantive offence with the aid of section 149 is improper. Accused persons would be liable for their individual acts if specific evidence led by the prosecution in that regard. The trial court found that there was a free fight between the two groups each one coming armed with weapons. under the circumstances of the case each one would be liable for his own act and would not be liable vicariously. JIVAN LAL V/S STATE OF M.P. 1997 S.C.C. (CRI) 521 Where the accused are charged with the aid of section 149 they can be convicted with the aid of section 34, if no prejudice is caused to the accuseds for not framing a distinct charge with the aid of section 34.if it is proved that the accused did share common intention of committing the offence no prejudice can be caused to them for not framing a distinct charge under section 34, as intention which is a question of the fact, has to be gathered from the evidence and the evidence on the record clearly establishes that the accused did share the common intention of committing the offence. The Supreme Court has previously in DHANNA V/S STATE OF M. P. 1996 S. C. C. [CRI] 1192 and NANAK CHAND V/S STATE OF PUNJAB AI R 1955 S. C. 274 has observed that section 34,114 and 149 of the IPC provide for criminal liability as regards object or a common intention and the charge is a rolled up one involving the direct liability and the constructive liability without specifying who are directly liable and who are made constructively liable, in such a situation the absence of a charge under one on other various heads of criminal liability for the offense cannot be said to be fatal by itself and before a conviction for the substantive offence without a charge, can be set aside,prejudice will have to be made out KANCHHEDI V/S STATE OF M.P. 1991 J.
