casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 449/2000 – Kali Nayak v. State of Orissa The Supreme Court dismissed the criminal appeal on October 3, 2002. Three accused persons, including appellant Kali Nayak, were convicted under Section 302/34 IPC for the May 4, 1989 murder of Surendra Nayak (a sweeper at S.C.B. Medical College, Cuttack) by attacking him with weapons (bhalla, katari, sword) near Bhubaneshwar Railway Station. The High Court had confirmed the Sessions Judge's life imprisonment sentence. The Court found the appellant's arguments—that Section 34 ingredients were missing and that PW-4 was merely a "chance witness" creating missing evidentiary links—unpersuasive, noting the prosecution established a complete chain of circumstances through credible eyewitness testimony.
