Section 302/149 IPC | Fractures Alone Sufficient for Murder Conviction Without Sharp Weapon Injuries : Allahabad HC

Allahabad HC ruled that fractures of ribs and limbs, even without sharp weapon injuries, can sustain a murder conviction under Section 302/149 IPC if the injuries are ordinarily sufficient to cause death. The court emphasized that eyewitness testimony alone can uphold such convictions, reinforcing the principle that the nature of injuries-not the weapon-determines culpability.
