NACHIMUTHU vs STATE OF TAMIL NADU

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of the deceased, who was the brother of accused No. 1. The Court found the eyewitness accounts of P.W. 1 and P.W. 2 credible and corroborated by medical evidence, including the presence of the deceased's blood on the weapon used. The argument that the case fell under Section 304 IPC was rejected, affirming the applicability of Section 34 IPC as both accused participated in the crime, leading to a life imprisonment sentence.
