The Court cancelled bail granted to two accused in a fatal petrol-attack case, rejected another accused’s bail plea, but preserved the bail of a co-accused who was absent from the scene.

The Court quashed the SC/ST Act prosecution against a school manager because the alleged incident occurred inside an enclosed room and no witness claimed to have heard a caste-based utterance. The IPC proceedings will continue.

The Court held that a gang chart prepared by police and administrative officers cannot supply the crime missing from the statute. It quashed two prosecutions but left proceedings under other penal laws untouched.

Electricity transmission is inherently dangerous, so compensation does not depend on proving fault. But recognised exceptions can still apply, and contested facts cannot be resolved through a High Court writ under Article 226, the Court held.

The Court held that proving a will's execution through an attesting witness is only the first step. Where a will disinherits the testator's own widow in favour of distant relatives, and carries recitals shown to be false, the person relying on it must dispel every doubt to the court's conscience and a defective registration will not do that work for them.

His disability certificate put the impairment at 70%, and two courts treated that figure as the measure of his lost earnings. The Supreme Court held that for a manual worker who can no longer do the only job he knows, the loss is total and nearly doubled his compensation.
