SABBI MALLESU vs STATE OF A.P.

The Supreme Court addressed the conviction under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing that a charge under Section 302/149 IPC must be explicitly framed against the accused. The Court found that the Sessions Judge convicted the accused without proper charges being laid, leading to a miscarriage of justice. Consequently, the Court quashed the conviction under Section 302 IPC, holding that the absence of a charge under Section 302/149 IPC invalidated the conviction, and the appeals were allowed.
