Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Delhi High Court's acquittal of Dr. Mahender Singh Dahiya under Sections 302 and 201 IPC, emphasizing the complexities of the case involving international jurisdiction and the brutal nature of the crime. The Court noted that the High Court's decision lacked sufficient consideration of the evidence presented, particularly regarding the dismemberment of the victim's body and the circumstances of the murder. The Supreme Court reinstated the trial court's conviction, holding that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt.
