Bishwa Nath Aggarwal vs Meena Gupta And Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conclusion that the statement made by the accused did not contain any inculpative admission, thus cannot be used against a co-accused under Section 30 of the Evidence Act. The Court found that the circumstantial evidence against the second accused, including a false alibi and a ransom note, was insufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the innocence of the first accused based on her admission to the Magistrate, which was deemed self-exculpatory.
