Bail Granted When Forensic Evidence Contradicts FIR Allegations | Aluminum Phosphide Found, No Strangulation Proof Under BNS Sections 103(1)/352 : Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to an accused in a murder case where the postmortem found no signs of strangulation but detected aluminum phosphide - ruling that speculative guilt based on domestic discord cannot override the absence of conclusive forensic proof. This reinforces that bail must be guided by evidentiary certainty, not conjecture, especially when charge-sheet is filed and custodial interrogation is no longer needed.

Writ of Mandamus | Police Must Enforce Possession Rights of Legal Heir & Prohibit Self-Help in Family Property Disputes : Madras HC

Madras High Court rules that police must intervene to restore possession of a marital home to the legal heir (widow) and prohibits self-help remedies like illegal locking or threats. The judgment reinforces that civil disputes over inheritance must be adjudicated through courts, not coercion, and mandates state action under Article 226 to protect possession rights.
