STATE OF U.P. vs ANIL SINGH

The Supreme Court held that under Article 136 of the Constitution, the scope of appeal is limited, and it will not interfere with an acquittal unless it is perverse or manifestly illegal. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's case should not be rejected solely due to the absence of independent witnesses, and it is the duty of the Court to sift through evidence to find the truth. The High Court's acquittal was deemed unsustainable, leading to the reversal of its decision and reinstatement of the conviction.
