MOHAN SINGH vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court held that the charge under Section 201 IPC against the appellant was not supported by any evidential material, as there was no proof that the appellant's act of washing his car five days after the murder was intended to conceal evidence. The Court emphasized that mere washing of the car, without any blood or evidence of the murder present, does not constitute prima facie evidence of the offence. Consequently, the Court quashed the charge and allowed the appeal, setting aside the order of the Sessions Judge.
