VIMAL SINGH vs KHUMAN SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to convict the appellant under Section 304 Part I IPC, after setting aside the trial court's acquittal, was improper as it violated Section 401(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court emphasized that the High Court's reappraisal of evidence was not warranted in this case, leading to the conclusion that the appellant's conviction was not legally sustainable. Consequently, the Supreme Court overturned the High Court's ruling and reinstated the trial court's acquittal.
