Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 201 IPC for causing disappearance of evidence and giving false information regarding the death of the deceased, Usha. The Court found that both accused were involved in misleading the investigation by falsely claiming the death was a suicide. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision which upheld the Trial Court's findings despite the acquittal of the appellant under Sections 302, 304-B, and 498-A IPC.
