Muthanantham vs Inspector of Police, Kenikkarai Police Station — 28/2025

Case Summary The Principal Sessions Judge, Ramanathapuram, partly allowed the appeal and modified the conviction's sentence. The court upheld the conviction of Muthanandham (A1) under IPC Section 324 (causing hurt by dangerous weapon) based on consistent eyewitness testimony and medical evidence corroborating stab injuries; however, it reduced the 6-month imprisonment to fine only, considering the accused's physically challenged status. The court rejected the defense's claims that witnesses were unreliable and that non-recovery of the weapon was fatal to the case.
