Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court acquitted the appellants convicted under Sections 302, 364, and 210 IPC, holding that the circumstantial evidence presented was insufficient to meet the required standard for conviction. The Court found no satisfactory evidence regarding the execution of a fraudulent sale deed or the identification of the deceased's body, as the post-mortem was conducted too late to ascertain the cause of death. The Court concluded that the prosecution failed to establish the guilt of the appellants beyond a reasonable doubt.
