Dr. Sunil Clifford Daniel Vs. State of Punjab
|
Indian Penal Code,1860 - Section 302 , Section 201
Murder - The nature of the injuries mentioned in the post-mortem report makes it crystal clear that the deceased died of strangulation i.e. asphyxia, and she also had several injuries to her head, which could have been caused by a dumb bell, which was one of the materials recovered and found to have blood stains on it. As the appellant had a strained relationship with his wife, he no doubt wanted to get rid of her - Although he has claimed that the petitions for divorce by mutual consent were pending before the court, he has never submitted any documents with respect to this before the court - Thus, inference may be drawn that the appellant did in fact wish to get rid of his wife - As the recoveries of the blood stained gunny bag, dumb bell, tie etc. were made on the basis of the disclosure statement of the appellant himself, the chain of circumstances is therefore, complete.
