Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reviewed an appeal by the State of U.P. against a High Court order acquitting several accused persons charged under various sections of the IPC, including unlawful assembly and dacoity. The High Court had acquitted the accused based on evidence that the FIR was fabricated after police arrival and that the test identification parade was legally flawed. Furthermore, the Court found no evidence of common object or constructive liability, leading to the conclusion that the arrests and subsequent charges were unsustainable.
