Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of Ajaib Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of two police officers, determining whether the High Court's decision was perverse. The Court held that the acquittal was justified as the evidence supported the claim of self-defense by the respondent. Consequently, the appeal by the State against the acquittal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
