Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the Sessions Court to consider framing an additional charge under Section 302 IPC in the case concerning the death of Sulekha Dalai, which was initially treated as a suicide. The Court noted that sufficient material was available for such consideration, despite the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition for further investigation. The ruling emphasizes the need for a thorough examination of evidence before deciding on the framing of charges under the IPC.
