Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision. The Court found sufficient evidence from witnesses, including PW-14, who testified to the appellant firing the fatal shot. The Court clarified the distinction between culpable homicide and murder, emphasizing that all murder is culpable homicide but not vice versa, and confirmed the life sentence imposed by the trial court.
