Sekar @ Raja Sekharan vs State Rep. By Inspector Of Police, T. ...

The Supreme Court considered an appeal against the conviction of the accused under Section 302 of the IPC for the murder of the deceased following a dispute over the release of a sheep. The accused contended that the injuries were inflicted in the exercise of the right of private defence. The Court analyzed the evidence of eyewitnesses and determined that the plea of private defence was unsustainable, particularly as the accused continued to inflict blows after the deceased had fallen.
