Orders
Summary of Criminal Appeal No. 2270/2010 – Liyakat v. State of Uttarakhand On December 4, 2018, the Supreme Court of India dismissed Liyakat's appeal against his conviction for murder under Section 302 IPC. The court upheld the lower courts' conviction, finding the circumstantial evidence (blood-stained clothing, the murder weapon recovered from his house, the victim's body found there, and his confession to witnessing Naseeran) established guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court rejected the amicus curiae's argument for downgrading the offense to culpable homicide, citing severe injuries that demonstrated clear intent to murder. The appellant remains entitled to statutory remission as per law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
