Naresh Kumar vs The State Of Delhi

The Supreme Court emphasized the mandatory nature of questioning under Clause (b) of Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, stating that failure to comply can vitiate a trial if it results in material prejudice to the accused. The Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC with the aid of Section 34 IPC, confirming that the evidence presented, including necroscopic findings and eyewitness testimonies, established the culpability of the accused in the murder of Arun Kumar. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment.
