Raja vs The State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his brother, based on circumstantial evidence and an extra judicial confession corroborated by witnesses. The Court found no reason to overturn the detailed findings of the Trial Court and High Court, which ruled out the possibility of any other person being responsible for the victim's death. The Court directed the State to consider the appellant for premature release after serving 14 years, including remission, while dismissing the appeal.
