Shailendra Chaudhary Vs. Smt. Seema Singh And Anr.
KRISHNEGOWDA & ORS. Vs. STATE OF KARNATAKA BY ARKALGUD POLICE
It is settled law that mere latches on the part of Investigating Officer itself cannot be a ground for acquitting the accused. If that is the basis, then every criminal case will depend upon the will and design of the Investigating Officer. The Courts have to independently deal with the case and should arrive at a just conclusion beyond reasonable doubt basing on the evidence on record. Once there is Full Judgment
HAKEEM KHAN & ORS. Vs. STATE OF M.P.
It will be necessary for us to emphasise that a possible view denotes an opinion which can exist or be formed irrespective of the correctness or otherwise of such an opinion. A view taken by a court lower in the hierarchical structure may be termed as erroneous or wrong by a superior court upon a mere disagreement. But such a conclusion of the higher Full Judgment
RAJ KUMAR @ RAJU Vs. STATE(NCT OF DELHI)

MD. SAJJAD @ RAJU @ SALIM Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL
The identification parade itself was held 25 days after the arrest. Their chance meeting was also in the night without there being any special occasion for them to notice the features of any of the accused which would then register in their minds so as to enable them to identify them on a future date. The chance meeting was also for few Full Judgment
AJAY SINGH AND ANR AND ETC. Vs. STATE OF CHHATTISGARH AND ANR
Performance of judicial duty in the manner prescribed by law is fundamental to the concept of rule of law in a democratic State. It has been quite often said and, rightly so, that the judiciary is the protector and preserver of rule of law. Effective functioning of the said sacrosanct duty has been entrusted to the judiciary and that entrustment expects the courts to conduct Full Judgment
H.D. SIKAND (D) TH:LRS. Vs. C.B.I.& ANR.
GURCHARAN SINGH Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB
There is thus neither any proximate nor remote acts of omission or commission on the part of the appellant and his family members that can be irrefutably construed to be a direct or indirect cause or factor compelling Surjit and her daughters to take the extreme step of self-elimination. It is thus manifest that the offence punishable is one of abetment of the commission of suicide by any person, predicating existence of a Full Judgment
GURPAL SINGH Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB
Further, having regard to the root cause of the incident and the events that sequentially unfolded thereafter, we are of the comprehension that the appellant was overpowered by an uncontrollable fit of anger somuch so that he was deprived of his power of self-control and being drawn in a web of action reflexes, fired at the deceased and the injured, who were within his sight. The facts do not commend to Full Judgment

K.V. PRAKASH BABU Vs. STATE OF KARNATAKA
BAIJNATH AND ORS Vs. STATE OF M P
(38) A cumulative consideration of the overall evidence on the facet of dowry, leaves us unconvinced about the truthfulness of the charge qua the accused persons. The prosecution in our estimate, has failed to prove this indispensable component of the two offences beyond reasonable doubt. The factum of unnatural death in the matrimonial home and that too within seven years of marriage therefore is thus ipso facto not sufficient to Full Judgment
KALA @ CHANDRAKALA Vs. STATE TR.INSP.OF POLICE

STATE OF GUJARAT Vs. JAYRAJBHAI PUNJABHAI VARU - Murder
10) The courts below have to be extremely careful when they deal with a dying declaration as the maker thereof is not available for the cross- examination which poses a great difficulty to the accused person. A mechanical approach in relying upon a dying declaration just because it is there is extremely dangerous. The court has to examine a dying Full Judgment
R.RACHAIAH Vs. HOME SECRETARY, BANGALORE
The bare reading of Section 216 reveals that though it is permissible for any Court to alter or add to any charge at any time before judgment is pronounced, certain safeguards, looking into the interest of the accused person who is charged with the additional charge or with the alteration of the additional charge, are also provided specifically under sub-sections (3) and 4 of Section 216 of the Code. Sub-section(3), in no Full Judgment
