Vandana vs. State of Maharashtra 2025 INSC 1098, details an appeal regarding a conviction for forgery and attempting to cheat. Vandana, the appellant, challenged the High Court's decision that upheld her conviction for altering marks on academic documents to gain college admission. The Supreme Court reviewed the legal arguments, including the prosecution's failure to prove authorship of the forgery and the lack of expert handwriting analysis. Ultimately, the court overturned Vandana's conviction, citing insufficient evidence to establish her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, the flawed questioning under Section 313 CrPC, and the principle that suspicion cannot substitute legal proof.#Section313CrPC #indianlaw #SupremeCourt
