MANI RAM vs THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's reversal of the Trial Court's acquittal, emphasizing that the evidence presented by witnesses PW1 and PW2 was consistent and corroborated by medical testimony. The Court found that the Trial Court's reliance on the digestion timeline was misplaced, as it did not consider the variability of digestion among individuals. The Court concluded that the prosecution had established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, thereby dismissing the appeal under Section 2 of the Supreme Court (Enlargement of Appellate Jurisdiction) Act, 1970.
