PAPPU vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision. The Court found that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts, established the appellant's culpability in causing the death of Mal Singh during a marriage function. The Court held that the act was not a result of sudden provocation but a deliberate act of violence, thus maintaining the life sentence and fine imposed by the trial court.
