SUGANANDAM vs STATE OF TAMIL NADU — Crl.A. No. 820/2004

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Suganandam's appeal on January 12, 2006. Suganandam was initially acquitted of murder charges (IPC Section 302) by the trial court, but the High Court reversed the acquittal, finding it perverse, and convicted him to life imprisonment. The Supreme Court upheld the conviction, finding the testimonies of two child witnesses credible and corroborated by forensic evidence—a blood-stained knife recovered based on the appellant's disclosure statement contained AB Group blood matching the deceased's blood group.
