Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's procedure of conducting a mock experiment to assess the time taken to reload a gun was irregular and not based on reliable evidence, as it involved a different gun and an unverified individual. The Court emphasized that the High Court failed to consider the efficiency of the accused in handling the weapon and the context of the incident. Consequently, the acquittal of the accused under Section 302 IPC was overturned, and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
