Dhirendra Kumar @ Dhiroo vs State Of Uttarkhand

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Surat Singh, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. The Court found the eyewitness testimonies of Bahadur Singh and Lakhi Ram credible, rejecting the appellant's claims of false implication and asserting that the evidence supported the prosecution's case. The Court ruled that the case did not fall under Exception 4 to Section 300 IPC, as it was not a case of sudden fight, thereby reinforcing the conviction under Section 302 IPC.
