Chunda Murmu vs State Of West Bengal

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Chunda Murmu under Sections 302, 364, and 201 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the prosecution established the accused's guilt through circumstantial evidence, including his confession and the recovery of the victim's body.
