Case Summary: CRA/317/2023 Court Decision: The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed Sanjay Verma's appeal and upheld his conviction under IPC Section 302 (murder), affirming his life sentence plus ₹2,000 fine. The court found the prosecution established beyond reasonable doubt that Verma killed his wife Lata Verma by smothering/asphyxiation inside their matrimonial home, based on circumstantial evidence including postmortem findings, his suspicious conduct of leaving the hospital without explanation, strained marital relations, and his failure to provide plausible explanations as required under Evidence Act Section 106.
