Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Raghuvendra under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Bhagwan Singh, affirming the High Court's findings. The Court emphasized the validity of the 'last seen theory' and the reliability of eyewitness testimonies from Guddi Bai and Sadhana, who were familiar with the accused. The Court found sufficient circumstantial evidence, including the recovery of the deceased's belongings at the instance of the accused, to support the conviction, thereby dismissing the appeal.
