Suchand Bauri vs State Of West Bengal

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Sarbeswar, affirming the finding that injury no. 9 was sufficient to cause death. The Court rejected the argument that the act constituted culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 304 IPC, emphasizing that the nature and number of injuries inflicted indicated intent. The appeal against the High Court's decision, which upheld the life sentence and fine, was dismissed, confirming the appellant's guilt.
