Supreme Court Acquits 'Wife' Accused of Murdering Her 'Husband' on Basis of Benefit of Doubt - (20 Sep 2019)

CRIMINAL

Supreme Court while setting aside concurrent convictions by the lower Court and High Court has acquitted a woman accused of murdering her husband. The Court observed that it could not be the handiwork of one person and it would be rather preposterous to assume that the Accused hung the dead body by ceiling fan all by herself.
