RAMA SHANKAR vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ajit Singh, establishing that the use of a knife in a sudden altercation constituted a clear case of murder rather than self-defense. The Court emphasized that the intent to kill was evident from the nature of the attack, and the presence of multiple assailants further supported the prosecution's case. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment and sentence.
