JAGDISH vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC, rejecting the acquittal by the Sessions Judge. The Court found that the High Court correctly assessed the severity of the injuries on the deceased, which included fractures of the scalp and temporal bone, indicating intent to kill. The Court clarified that the prosecution's obligation to explain injuries on the accused only arises if those injuries are serious and directly related to the incident, which was not the case here.
