MANKALI RAMESH vs STATE OF A.P. — Crl.A. No. 1725/2009

Summary of Mankali Ramesh v. State of A.P., Crl.A. No. 1725/2009 The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on October 20, 2011, upholding the conviction of appellant Mankali Ramesh for the murder of his wife under IPC Sections 302 and 201, sentencing him to life imprisonment and 3 years rigorous imprisonment. The Court found the circumstantial evidence—including recovery of a knife and blood-stained garments at the appellant's instance, DNA analysis confirming his blood on the sari and clothes, and 25 incised wounds on his body—conclusive that he alone killed the deceased, rejecting his initial false accusation against two auto rickshaw passengers.
