Majendran Langeswaran vs State (Nct Of Delhi) & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of L. Shivaraman, affirming the High Court's decision which maintained the life sentence and fine imposed by the Additional Sessions Judge. The Court found sufficient evidence, including a confession made by the accused to a fellow officer and the recovery of a blood-stained knife, to establish the guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment clarified that the jurisdiction of Indian law applied to the incident occurring on an Indian-flagged vessel on high seas, thus affirming the legal principles surrounding jurisdiction and murder under IPC.
