BABU S/O RAVEENDRAN vs BABU S/O BAHULEYAN

The Supreme Court held that the conviction under Section 302 IPC for murder was justified based on circumstantial evidence, which established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court found that the High Court erred in acquitting the accused, as the evidence presented, including the circumstances surrounding the death of the deceased, pointed unequivocally to homicide rather than suicide. The Supreme Court reinstated the death sentence imposed by the trial court, emphasizing the heinous nature of the crime.
