M.Subramani vs State Represented By on 16 March, 2011

In M.Subramani Vs. State reported in MANU/TN/3138/2016, this Court held that merely because the vehicle was being driven at a “high speed” does not speak of either negligence or rashness by itself. In the absence of any material on record, no presumption of rashness or negligence could be drawn by invoking the maxim “res ipsa loquitur”. Therefore, he prayed to acquit the petitioner herein. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Balamurugan vs State Represented By on 8 September, 2020

6.In support of his contention, he also cited the Judgment of this Court in Balamurugan Vs. The State reported in (MANU/TN/3659/2021) and held that the criminal jurisprudence says that unless there is a statutory burden, it is always on the prosecution to establish the guilt of the accused and prove its case beyond all reasonable doubt. The prosecution should let in evidence to prove that the ingredient necessary for a particular offence is made out. Merely because there was an accident and that two persons have lost their lives, the burden cannot be shifted on the accused to prove his innocence and there can be no presumption that the accused drove the vehicle in a rash and negligent manner.
