casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Saju v. State of Kerala Court Decision: The Supreme Court acquitted appellant Saju of all charges and set aside the convictions for criminal conspiracy (Section 120B), murder (Section 302), and abetment (Section 109) of the Indian Penal Code. The court found the prosecution failed to prove conspiracy beyond reasonable doubt, as crucial circumstantial evidence—particularly motive and concrete proof of joint action—was insufficiently established despite conviction of the actual murderer (Biju). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
