casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Crl.A. No. 378/2007 - Mritunjoy Biswas v. Pranab @ Kuti Biswas Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, set aside the High Court's acquittal judgment, and restored the trial court's conviction of Pranab for murder under IPC Section 302. Pranab was sentenced to life imprisonment and directed to surrender to custody. Key Facts: On April 20, 2001, Ashalata Biswas was shot through a window in Nadia; she died the next day. The trial court convicted Pranab based on eyewitness testimony; the High Court acquitted him citing insufficient evidence and minor discrepancies. The Supreme Court found the High Court's reasoning flawed and overly technical, accepting the credible testimony of natural witnesses despite the accused not being named in the FIR and no weapon recovery.
