Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the accused under Section 302 IPC by the Madras High Court, finding that the prosecution's evidence was unreliable. The Court noted that witnesses resiled from their statements, and the forensic report did not support the claim of poisoning. Additionally, discrepancies in the handling of evidence were highlighted, leading to the conclusion that the High Court's judgment was sound and did not warrant interference.
