HARI vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Hari under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Khemsingh, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court. The Court found sufficient evidence of premeditated intent to kill, as Hari assaulted the victim with a knife during a land dispute. The Court also confirmed the conviction of Baliram under Section 324 IPC for causing hurt to Gulabsingh, emphasizing the gravity of the offenses committed in a communal setting.
