NIVRUTTI vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the High Court's confirmation of a conviction under Section 302/34 IPC. The Court found that the evidence did not establish the intention to murder, as the injuries were primarily simple and non-vital, with only one injury leading to death. The Court held that the appellants' intention was to inflict hurt rather than to kill, thus overturning the conviction under Section 302 IPC and emphasizing the necessity of proving intent in murder cases.
