Trimbak vs State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 324 IPC for causing hurt, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Sessions Court. The Court found that the evidence, particularly from the eyewitness Narmadabai, was credible and established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The argument of the appellant that the incident occurred during a sudden quarrel was rejected, reinforcing the principle that such defenses do not absolve liability for murder under Section 302 IPC.
