The May Roundup of Criminal Law contains important rulings and judgments from the Supreme Court and High Courts on bail, criminal trials, corruption, quashment of FIRs, dowry death investigations, POCSO, and procedural safeguards.
The Court noted that as per the post-mortem report, the death was due to ante-mortem hanging by ligature, but 6 other ante-mortem injuries were found on the body of the deceased, which were not caused by taking the body out of the ligature or carrying it out to the hospital.
The Court also took note of the State’s contention that the anticipatory bail was granted in a very hurried manner, as the death occurred on 12 May at night, the post-mortem was conducted on 14 May, the anticipatory bail application was filed on 14 May, and the same was allowed on 15 May.
