Keshav vs State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Uttam Sonwale, establishing that the prosecution proved the motive, last seen circumstances, and extra-judicial confession. The Court emphasized that the recovery of bloodstained clothes and a knife linked the appellant to the crime, despite the absence of a complete body. The Court affirmed the lower courts' findings, rejecting the defense's arguments regarding the possibility of natural causes for death and the timeline of skeletal remains.
