Appeal Against Conviction Maintainability

Summary

An individual, Mr. Ramesh, was convicted of murder in Bhopal after stabbing a stranger, Mr. Suraj, while under the influence of alcohol and cocaine. Despite claiming intoxication as a defense under Section 24 BNS 2023, the court found him guilty based on expert testimony indicating he was aware of his actions. The case was appealed in the MP High Court, questioning the maintainability of the conviction appeal. The appeal process involves examining whether the intoxication defense was valid and if the trial courts decision was justified. Understanding the legal framework and arguments presented is crucial for determining the outcome of the appeal.
