Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Jeet Singh, establishing that the prosecution must prove the intent to kill and the act of causing death. The Court emphasized that the presence of injuries consistent with the cause of death, as noted in the post-mortem report, was sufficient to establish the link between the accused's actions and the victim's death. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision and the trial court's findings.
