STATE OF HARYANA vs BHAGIRATH

The Supreme Court examined the conviction of Bhagirath under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his son Subhram, who was blind. The High Court had acquitted Bhagirath while upholding the conviction of his nephews. The Supreme Court held that the acquittal was erroneous, emphasizing that the evidence presented established Bhagirath's complicity in the murder, and thus reinstated the conviction under Section 302 IPC, sentencing him to life imprisonment.
