    Case Summary: CRA/219/2024 The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed Devendra Kumar Singh's appeal against his life sentence for murdering his wife Radha. The court upheld the trial court's conviction under Section 302 IPC, finding the appellant guilty based on circumstantial evidence including: the deceased's body found in the appellant's house premises with multiple axe wounds; human blood on the seized axe and shirt; his failure to substantiate an alibi defense; and his lack of explanation for the injuries—all triggering adverse presumptions under Section 106 of the Evidence Act.
