R. RAJENDRAN NAIR vs STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Rajendran Nair under Sections 302 and 201 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which acquitted his co-accused. The Court found that the evidence established the appellant's involvement in the murder of his wife, Lalithambika, and the subsequent concealment of her body. The Court emphasized the need for corroborative evidence in murder cases but concluded that the circumstantial evidence was sufficient to sustain the conviction.
