Himanshu Mohan Rai vs State Of U.P. And Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Imran Afreen under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Lalit Mohan Rai, affirming the Sessions Court's finding that the prosecution established the accused's intent and action in firing multiple shots at the deceased. The Court noted that the acquittal by the High Court was erroneous as the evidence clearly demonstrated the accused's culpability in the murder. The appeal was allowed, and the Sessions Court's sentence of life imprisonment was reinstated.
