PREMPAL vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Smt. Anita, confirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, as the deceased had identified him as her assailant before succumbing to her injuries. The Court also noted that the trial court's conviction under Section 354 IPC was correctly overturned by the High Court, leading to the appellant's appeal being dismissed.
