The Court treated last seen together, unexplained conduct, recovery of incriminating articles, and corroborative forensic material as sufficient to uphold convictions against Sharda Jain, Rajinder Singh, Raj Kumar, and Roshan Singh. It relied on the deceased being last seen with Sharda Jain, the recovery of blood-stained soil and linked tyre-mud evidence, the recovery of the wrist watch and gold ring at the instance of accused persons, and abscondence where relevant.
