Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A-3 Rajendra Kumar under Sections 302, 392, 397, 414, and 120B IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which found him guilty based on circumstantial evidence linking him to the murder of Vimla and the theft of her jewellery. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's reliance on the presence of A-3 in the rented room and the recovery of stolen jewellery was sufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' findings and sentences.
