SEKAR @ RAJA SEKHARAN vs STATE REP.BY INSPECTOR OF POLICE, T.NADU

The appellant challenged the conviction and life imprisonment sentence under Section 302 of the IPC for the murder of Palaniswamy. The case arose from a dispute over a sheep, during which the appellant inflicted fatal injuries on the deceased. The Court analyzed the appellant's plea of private defense, ultimately rejecting it on the grounds that the appellant continued the assault even after the deceased had fallen, indicating an intent to kill rather than a defensive act.
