Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Abdul Jabbar Qureshi, affirming the findings of the Bombay High Court. The Court established that the prosecution proved the appellant's intent and the act of causing death during a sudden quarrel, which did not mitigate the severity of the offense under Section 302 IPC. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's judgment and sentence.
