Nawaz vs The State Rep. By Inspector Of Police

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 and Section 201 IPC for the murder and concealment of the body of the deceased. The Court found that the extra-judicial confession made by Accused No. 1 was credible despite being recorded 40 days post-incident, and it sufficiently implicated both accused in the crime. The Court rejected the argument that the confession was unreliable due to the lack of familial connection between the confessor and the witness, affirming the lower courts' findings.
