D.Thamodaran vs Kandasamy & Anr

The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of the respondent under Section 304 IPC by the High Court, which was based on perceived inconsistencies in the prosecution's case. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented by eyewitnesses (PWs 2, 4, and 5) was consistent and corroborated by medical evidence, establishing the respondent's culpability. The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's judgment, reinstating the conviction under Section 304 IPC, thereby affirming the trial court's findings and holding that the prosecution had met its burden of proof.
