Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Radhakrishan under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Rajaram, affirming the findings of the lower courts based on the testimonies of key witnesses Kilol Singh and Ram Kali. The Court emphasized the principle of 'last seen together' as a critical factor in establishing the guilt of the accused. The evidence of multiple ante-mortem injuries and asphyxia due to strangulation supported the conviction, leading to a life sentence being maintained.
