Raja Gounder & Anr vs State Of Tamil Nadu

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder, finding that the evidence of PW.1, the wife of the deceased, was credible despite the delay in filing the FIR and the absence of independent witnesses. The Court noted that the strained relations due to a land dispute provided a motive for the crime, and the explanations for the FIR delay were satisfactory. The Court found no discrepancies between ocular and medical evidence, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
