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, including eyewitness accounts, to establish that the appellant fired the fatal shot during a quarrel. The Court clarified the distinction between culpable homicide and murder, emphasizing that all murder is culpable homicide but not vice versa, thus affirming the life sentence imposed by the trial court.
