Randhir Basil vs State Of West Bengal

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 201 IPC for the murders of Subhash Chandra Pal and his family, affirming the death sentence imposed by the trial court. The Court found that the evidence, particularly the testimony of Sudipa, established a clear motive and premeditated intent on the part of the appellant. The acquittal of Krishnanendu was also confirmed, as he was given the benefit of doubt due to insufficient evidence linking him to the crime.
