State Of Maharashtra vs Laxmibai And Anr.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of the accused under Article 136 of the Constitution of India, emphasizing that it does not typically interfere with factual findings leading to acquittal unless shown to be perverse or based on conjecture. The Court noted that the prosecution's case was weakened by the lack of timely reporting of the incident and inconsistencies in witness statements. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed as lacking merit.
