RAM SINGH vs STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, emphasizing the reliability of extra-judicial confessions when made to a person without motive to lie. The Court found that the High Court erred in rejecting the confession made to Ujagar Singh, as it was corroborated by the circumstances of the case, including the appellant's possession of a blood-stained sword. The Court confirmed the death sentence, establishing that the evidence presented sufficiently proved the appellant's guilt.
