GURJA BEDIA AND ORS. vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court acquitted the appellants convicted under Sections 302, 394, and 34 IPC due to reasonable doubt regarding their identity as assailants. The Court found that the testimony of PW-14, who claimed to identify the appellants, was unreliable as she was unconscious during the incident, and the FIR did not name the assailants. The Court emphasized that the benefit of doubt must go to the accused when there is uncertainty in the prosecution's case.
