Vivek Kalra vs State Of Rajasthan

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ankit Kalra, affirming the life sentence and fine imposed by the Rajasthan High Court. The Court found that the circumstantial evidence presented, including the motive related to a fixed deposit and the appellant's actions leading up to the murder, sufficiently established guilt despite the absence of eyewitness testimony. The Court rejected the appellant's claims of innocence based on character evidence and medical testimony, concluding that the prosecution's case was compelling.
