Rama Nand And Ors vs State Of Himachal Pradesh on 6 January, 1981
36. The legal position regarding production of corpus delicti i.e. the body of
crime, the iron gate in this case, is well settled by a long line of decisions of the
Hon'ble Supreme Court including in Rama Nand and Ors. v. State of Himachal
Pradesh (1981) 1 SCC 511, wherein the court held that it is true that in law, a
conviction for an offence, does not necessarily depend upon the corpus delicti
being found. There may be reliable evidence, direct or circumstantial, of the
commission of the murder though the corpus delicti are not traceable.
