The incident occurred on August 2, 2015, when the appellant Chormule, under the influence of alcohol, quarrelled with his wife Rani and poured rat poison into her mouth. Medical evidence confirmed the presence of poison in the victim’s stomach wash and the seized bottle.
The case also referenced a previous incident in which Chormule allegedly attempted to pour kerosene on his wife. Rani mentioned this during her testimony, although Chormule had been acquitted of that charge.
Chormule was convicted by the Additional Sessions Judge, Solapur under Section 307 of the IPC (attempt to murder) and sentenced to ten years in prison. He appealed the conviction before the Bombay High Court.
