MAJENDRAN LANGESWARAN vs STATE (NCT OF DELHI)

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant 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 appellant to a fellow officer, and established that the act was premeditated and intentional. The judgment reinforced the principle that confessions made in a credible manner can substantiate a conviction under murder charges.
