SUDERSHAN KUMAR vs THE STATE OF DELHI

The Supreme Court held that the act of pouring acid on Maya Devi constituted murder under Section 302 IPC, as it was a deliberate act intended to cause death or grievous hurt. The Court emphasized that the intention to kill was evident from the accused's threats and actions leading to the incident. The conviction of the accused was upheld, affirming the lower court's decision and reinforcing the principle that intent and premeditation are critical in establishing culpability for murder.
