RAM CHARITTAR vs STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ram Charittar and Kishori Lal under Section 302/34 IPC for the acid attack resulting in the deaths of Sushila and her daughters. The Court found that the circumstantial evidence, including the presence of the accused at the scene and the dying declaration of Bindu, was sufficient to establish guilt despite the absence of direct eyewitnesses. The motive to kill was established as a desire to acquire the deceased's property, affirming the High Court's judgment and sentencing them to life imprisonment.
