casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Crl.A. No. 001438 / 2011 (Rajendra @ Rajappa v. State of Karnataka) The Supreme Court dismissed the appellants' criminal appeal challenging their murder conviction. The trial court had acquitted all accused, but Karnataka's High Court reversed this on appeal, convicting accused nos. 2-5 under IPC Sections 302/149 (murder) and related sections, sentencing them to life imprisonment. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction, finding the trial court's acquittal perverse and contrary to evidence. The Court credited eyewitness testimonies (wife, brother, and mother-in-law of deceased) as natural and trustworthy despite minor discrepancies, rejecting the trial court's dismissal based on witness-relationships. Medical evidence corroborated the incident timing. The Court affirmed the conviction, holding the assault was intentional with shared common object among accused.
