No. 423/2000 | Decided: November 1, 2000 The Supreme Court dismissed Shamshad's criminal appeal challenging his conviction under Section 302 IPC (murder). The Court upheld the concurrent findings of facts by lower courts and rejected the appellant's alternative argument to reduce the charge to Section 304 Part-I IPC (culpable homicide), finding that the severity and nature of injuries inflicted on the deceased and other victims—which were devastatingly serious—supported the murder conviction.
