casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Manju v. State of Delhi Crl.A. No. 1268 of 2013 The Supreme Court acquitted Manju of murder charges, overturning her life sentence conviction. Manju was accused of strangling her newborn daughter at Lady Hardinge Medical College Hospital on August 24, 2007. The Court found the conviction based on circumstantial evidence lacked a complete chain of proof and reasonable motive. Key factors: the baby was in an incubator with oxygen immediately after birth and showed no vital signs; Manju was sedated; the family already wanted a daughter; and no direct evidence established guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that without clear evidence, the accused deserved benefit of doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
