Arun Raj vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Arun Raj under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the findings of the General Court Martial which found him guilty of stabbing Havildar R.C. Tiwari. The Court noted that the appellant's actions were premeditated, stemming from a prior altercation, and emphasized the gravity of the offence under Section 69 of the Army Act. The Court confirmed the revised sentence of life imprisonment, stating that the initial sentence of 7 years was inadequate given the nature of the crime.
