Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 304 Part II IPC for the murder of his pregnant wife, Kalpana, emphasizing that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, established the brutal nature of the attack. The Court noted that the High Court correctly reversed the acquittal by the Additional Sessions Judge, affirming that the injuries inflicted were sufficient to cause death and that the appellant's actions demonstrated a clear intent to kill. The sentence of ten years' imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 10,000 was confirmed, reinforcing the seriousness of domestic violence against women under the IPC.
