Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the findings of the Bombay High Court. The Court ruled that the act of delivering a knife blow during a quarrel constituted a clear intent to kill, thus justifying the application of Section 302 IPC. The appeal was dismissed, and the life sentence along with fines imposed by the trial court were upheld.
