Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the findings of the Rajasthan High Court. The Court clarified that for invoking Exception 4 to Section 300 IPC, it must be shown that the act was committed in a sudden fight without premeditation, which was not established in this case. The Court found that the appellant's actions were deliberate and not in the heat of passion, thus maintaining the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the trial court.
