Rajesh @ Raju Chandulal Gandhi & Anr vs State Of Gujarat

The appellant challenged the concurrent findings of the lower courts regarding the reliability of eyewitness testimony in a criminal case. The Supreme Court considered whether it could re-appreciate evidence in a special leave appeal when the presence of eyewitnesses was alleged to be improbable and the FIR potentially ante-timed. The court reiterated that it cannot ordinarily embark upon a fresh appreciation of evidence in the face of concurrent findings unless substantial illegality is shown.
