Hare Ram Yadav vs State Of Bihar

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of the deceased, affirming the lower courts' findings that the appellant acted with intent to kill, as evidenced by the nature of the injuries inflicted. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that the incident was a result of provocation and thus should fall under Section 304 IPC, stating that the evidence of five eyewitnesses consistently implicated the appellant. The appeal was dismissed, and the life sentence was upheld.
