    JudgmentView PDF

    Case Summary: S.C.No. 62/2025 Court Decision: Lakshmana Babu was acquitted of culpable homicide charges under Section 304-II IPC. The court found the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused deliberately threw a scissor at his son Chandrashekhara, leading to the son's death. Key Reasoning: All material prosecution witnesses, including the accused's wife (PW.1) and son (PW.4), turned hostile and testified that Chandrashekhara died after slipping on a wet floor, causing a scissor from a sewing machine drawer to fall on his neck—not from a deliberate act by the accused. The court found no credible incriminating evidence and extended the benefit of doubt to the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
