As per case facts, Ajmer was convicted for the murder of his wife, Rajo Devi, on 23.04.2016, following an FIR lodged by his brother. Eyewitnesses, including his brother and son,
...stated Ajmer, under the influence of liquor, stabbed Rajo Devi multiple times on vital body parts, leading to her death. The post-mortem confirmed the cause of death due to deep injuries. The appeal challenged the conviction, citing hasty investigation, witness discrepancies, lack of independent witnesses for recovery, and alleged false implication. The question arose whether the prosecution proved the murder beyond reasonable doubt and if the conviction was justified despite the defense's claims. Finally, the High Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the conviction. It found the eyewitness accounts credible, supported by medical evidence and recovered weapon. The court dismissed defense arguments regarding investigation flaws and witness credibility, concluding that the accused intentionally caused fatal injuries, satisfying the definition of murder under Section 300 IPC.
