Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the acquittal of the appellants under Sections 302 and 302/114 IPC, where the Sessions Judge had found insufficient evidence for conviction. The High Court's revision allowed the informant's plea, setting aside the acquittal and ordering a retrial, emphasizing the need to consider corroborative medical evidence alongside eyewitness testimonies. The Court held that the prosecution's case warranted further examination, thus remitting the matter for retrial.
