Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Rambraksh @ Jalim under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 201 IPC for causing disappearance of evidence, affirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the trial court. The Court found sufficient evidence linking the accused to the crime, including the recovery of human remains and personal belongings of the deceased. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the conviction was rejected, reinforcing the legal principle that circumstantial evidence can suffice for conviction if it forms a complete chain.
