KISHORE BHADKE vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 364, 302, 201 read with 34/120-B IPC, affirming that the prosecution established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized the importance of confessions made by the co-accused during interrogation, which were corroborated by the recovery of the deceased's body and other incriminating evidence. The appeals were dismissed, and the sentences were confirmed, reinforcing the principle that confessions can be pivotal in establishing a conspiracy to commit murder.
