PoliticsGauhati HC Acquits Woman, Sets Aside Life Term in Infant Murder Case
The Gauhati High Court acquitted a woman sentenced to life imprisonment for allegedly killing her one-month-old daughter. The court ruled her confession inadmissible as it was recorded in the presence of a policewoman. The bench also noted the trial court should have considered postpartum psychosis, a condition affecting some women after childbirth. The woman was acquitted of charges under Sections 302 and 201 IPC due to insufficient evidence.
