VELU @ PALANIVELU vs INSPECTOR OF POLICE .

The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the Bombay High Court's conviction of Changdeo Nivrutti Kamathe under Section 302 IPC for murder. The Court held that the High Court's interference with the trial court's acquittal was justified due to the trial court's perverse judgment, as the witnesses had specifically named the appellant and medical evidence corroborated the fatal injury caused by him. However, the Court found merit in the argument that the case may fall under Section 304 IPC instead of Section 302 IPC, given the nature of the incident and the single injury inflicted.
