Tattu Lodhi @ Pancham Lodhi vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant for offences under Section 366(A), 363, 364, 376(2)(f)/511, and 201 IPC, confirming the death sentence under Section 302 IPC. The court found that the circumstantial evidence presented, including the last seen theory and recovery of the victim's body, was sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court disapproved of the trial court's error in convicting the appellant only for attempted rape, given the severity of the crime committed against the minor victim.
