KUNJUMON @ UNNI vs STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 397 IPC for robbery, affirming that the absence of a Test Identification Parade does not preclude the acceptance of a child witness's testimony. The Court found sufficient evidence of the appellant's intent to commit robbery and the subsequent fatal assault on the victim, Annamma. However, the Court ruled that the conviction under Section 449 IPC for house trespass with intent to commit an offence punishable with death was not substantiated.
