Rajbir @ Raju & Anr vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court addressed the case of Rajbir @ Raju, who was convicted for the murder of his pregnant wife under Section 304B IPC. The Court found the reduction of his life sentence to 10 years by the Punjab & Haryana High Court to be unjustified, emphasizing the brutal nature of the crime and the need for stringent punishment. The Court directed that trial courts should ordinarily add Section 302 IPC to charges under Section 304B IPC in cases of heinous crimes against women, thereby reinforcing the gravity of such offenses.
