Santhanam vs State Of T.Nadu

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Thiruppathy, rejecting the argument that the eyewitnesses could not have seen the incident. The Court found that the evidence presented, including the medical report indicating death due to injuries sustained, was sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt. The acquittal of the co-accused was affirmed as the evidence did not implicate him in the murder, leading to the conclusion that the appellant acted alone in the fatal assault.
