NAND KUMAR & OTHERS vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 302 IPC, Section 377 IPC, and Section 395 IPC, affirming that the retracted confessions of the first three appellants were sufficiently corroborated by independent evidence. The Court established that sufficient corroboration requires reliable evidence that supports the confession's truth, which was met in this case. The Court found adequate evidence against the fourth appellant as well, thus confirming the lower courts' decisions.
