Judgment :- R. Balasubramanian, J. The appellant in this appeal was tried in S.C.No.42 of 1999 on the file of Court of Sessions, Perambalur for an offence under Section 302 I.P.C.(two counts). On being found guilty, she stands sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life on each count and the sentences are directed to run concurrently. It is that conviction, which is in challenge in this appeal. Heard the learned counsel on either side. There are two deceased in this case namely, Keppagounder and Karupayee.
