Salim Sahab vs State Of Madhya Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the Madhya Pradesh High Court's ruling that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, was sufficient to establish guilt. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that the incident occurred during a sudden quarrel, emphasizing that the use of a deadly weapon, such as scissors, indicated intent to kill. The appellant's life sentence and fine of Rs. 50,000 were confirmed, with the fine directed to be paid to the legal heirs of the deceased.
