Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Pramod Kumar under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Head Constable Maharaj Singh, affirming that the prosecution established the necessary intent and action leading to the fatal shooting. The Court noted that the accused's attempt to resist arrest with a knife and subsequent use of a firearm constituted a clear case of culpable homicide. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's findings and sentence.
