Shankar Ragho Bhagane vs State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his blind mother, affirming the Bombay High Court's decision. The Court found that the prosecution established the motive and the act of violence, supported by eyewitness testimony and medical evidence of injuries. The judgment reinforced the principle that a son has a duty to care for his parents, and failure to do so, coupled with violent behavior, can lead to severe criminal liability.
