PONNUSAMY vs STATE OF TAMIL NADU

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Selvi, and under Section 201 IPC for causing disappearance of evidence. The Court found that the prosecution established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, particularly through his confessions to witnesses and the recovery of the deceased's body. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the conviction was therefore dismissed, affirming the life sentence and additional punishment.
