WASIM KHAN vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant for murder under Section 302 IPC and robbery under Section 392 IPC, emphasizing that recent and unexplained possession of stolen goods serves as presumptive evidence for both charges. The Court found that the appellant's conduct indicated consciousness of guilt, supporting the conclusion of his guilt in both murder and robbery. The judgment reinforced the principle that possession of stolen property can implicate an individual in serious crimes beyond mere theft.
