R. KUPPUSAMY vs STATE REP.BY INS.OF POLICE,AMBEILIGAI

The Supreme Court held that the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his daughter was unsustainable due to the reliance on an extra-judicial confession that lacked corroboration from independent evidence. The Court emphasized that such confessions are inherently weak and require additional evidence to support a conviction. Consequently, the Court overturned the lower courts' decisions, acquitting the appellant of the charges against him.
