State Of Andhra Pradesh vs K. Srinivasulu Reddy And Anr

The Supreme Court held that the alteration of conviction from Section 302 IPC to Section 326 IPC by the Andhra Pradesh High Court was improper, as the evidence established a clear case of murder rather than causing grievous hurt. The Court emphasized that the intent to kill was evident from the premeditated actions of the accused, who conspired and executed the attack on the deceased. The Supreme Court restored the conviction under Section 302 IPC, affirming the trial court's judgment and sentencing the accused accordingly.
