Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that in an appeal against acquittal, the High Court must address each reason provided by the trial court for acquitting the accused, as per the principles established in Section 302 and Section 34 IPC. The Court found that the High Court erred by reversing the acquittal without adequately discussing the trial court's reasoning, which led to conjecture rather than a sound legal basis for conviction. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal and upheld the acquittal of the appellants.
