RAHIMBUX vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, Section 323 IPC for causing hurt, and Section 25 of the Arms Act for using a weapon. The Court clarified that the nature of the injury inflicted, despite being a single incised wound, was sufficient to establish the intent to kill, thus affirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the lower courts. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that the number of injuries does not solely determine the applicability of Section 302 IPC.
