Rajendra & Anr vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Rajendra under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Ratiram, affirming the High Court's decision which maintained the trial court's life sentence. The Court noted that the evidence, despite some inconsistencies, sufficiently established the involvement of the accused in the crime, particularly highlighting the testimony of the deceased's son, Jahangir Ram (PW4). The Court emphasized that the prosecution's case was supported by circumstantial evidence leading to the conclusion of guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
