Nivrutti & Ors vs State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court examined the appeal against a High Court decision affirming a conviction under Section 302/34 IPC. The Court found that the evidence did not establish the requisite intention to murder, as the injuries were primarily simple and non-vital, with only one injury causing death. The Court held that the appellants' intention was to inflict hurt rather than to kill, leading to the conclusion that the charge of murder was not substantiated.
