Surendra vs State Of Rajasthan

The Supreme Court acquitted Juglal and Rajesh while convicting Satpal and Surendra under Section 302 IPC for the murders of Tara Chand and Phoola Devi, sentencing them to life imprisonment under Section 302/34 IPC. The Court found the evidence of motive and the homicidal nature of the deaths established, but expressed serious doubts regarding the last seen evidence and the recoveries of incriminating articles. The Court ultimately held that the circumstantial evidence was insufficient to uphold the convictions, leading to their acquittal.
