Surender Singh vs State(Nct Of Delhi)

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 307 IPC for murder and attempted murder, respectively, affirming the life sentence and 7 years of rigorous imprisonment imposed by the Trial Court. The Court found that the appellant, a police guard, committed the murder inside the police station, and while he claimed self-defense and provocation, the evidence showed he acted with intent to kill. The Court emphasized that the circumstances did not justify the use of lethal force, thus rejecting the appellant's defenses.
