RADHEY SHYAM vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his two children, Rakesh and Rajkanta. The Court found the testimony of the child witness, PW-2 Banwari, credible despite the defense's arguments regarding its reliability and the absence of corroborative evidence. The Court emphasized that the evidence of the appellant being alone with the children and the bloodstains on his clothes were significant in establishing his guilt, leading to the dismissal of the appeal and affirmation of the life sentence.
