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 exists for this consideration, despite the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition for further investigation. The Court emphasized that this direction does not reflect an opinion on the merits of the case.
