Case History
Summary: Crl.A. No. 273/2004 - Subramani v. State of Tamil Nadu On 25/08/2004, the Supreme Court allowed Subramani's appeal, finding the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court set aside his convictions under Sections 302 and 307 IPC (upheld by the High Court) and acquitted him, citing flawed identification evidence—the appellant was known to witnesses before the alleged occurrence, making the test identification parade questionable. Subramani was directed to be released forthwith if not required in another case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
