BAPU @ GAJRAJ SINGH vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Gajraj Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Smt. Govind Kanwar, affirming the life sentence imposed by the trial court. The Court found that the evidence presented was credible, despite the defense's claim of the accused's unsound mind under Section 84 IPC, which was rejected by both the trial court and the High Court. The Court held that the accused was capable of understanding the nature of his actions at the time of the offense, thus affirming the lower courts' decisions.
