Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the acquittal of the appellant in a case of alleged murder under Section 302 IPC. The Court found that the evidence presented, particularly the medical examination, indicated that the deceased had been strangled before being thrown into a well, thus establishing homicidal death. The Court set aside the acquittal of the appellant while maintaining the acquittal of the appellant's mother, concluding that the prosecution had successfully proven the case against the appellant beyond reasonable doubt.
