Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A-1 under Sections 302/34 IPC for murder, affirming that the circumstantial evidence presented, including the recovery of the deceased's body from A-1's house and A-1's disclosure statement, established a clear chain of events leading to A-1's guilt. However, the Court acquitted A-2, finding no evidence linking her to the concealment of the body or the crime, emphasizing that mere association with A-1 was insufficient for conviction under Section 201/34 IPC. The outcome was a dismissal of A-1's appeal and an allowance of A-2's appeal, resulting in her acquittal on the second charge.
