Hansraj vs State Of M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 394 and 397 IPC, affirming the findings of the trial court and the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The Court emphasized that the recovery of the stolen ornaments, based on the appellant's confession, constituted sufficient evidence to establish guilt, despite the complainant's inability to identify the assailant. The sentence of seven years rigorous imprisonment and a fine was also upheld, confirming the legal principle that recovery of stolen property can substantiate a conviction in robbery cases.
