Lal Mohammad Manjur Ansari vs State Of Gujarat 2024 INSC 475 – Criminal Trial – Confesssion

Criminal Trial –The normal rule of human conduct is that a person would confess the commission of a serious crime to a person in whom he has implicit faith. The accused had worked in prosecution witness’s shop only for five months in 2004. The accused was otherwise not known to him. Therefore, it is unnatural that the accused would call the deceased on the phone and confess. (Para 7)

Summary: Murder accused acquitted – concurrent conviction set aside.
