HEERA vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 395 IPC for robbery, affirming the 10-year custodial sentence and fine imposed by the trial court. The Court found the identification of the accused during the Test Identification Parade to be credible and corroborated by witness testimonies. The judgment clarified that identification tests serve as corroborative evidence rather than substantive proof, referencing Matru v. State of U.P. and Santokh Singh v. Izhar Hussain.
