Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court considered an appeal by the State of U.P. against a High Court order acquitting three accused persons charged under Sections 302/34 and 307/34 of the IPC. The High Court had reversed the trial court's conviction based on contradictions in oral evidence and a misreading of facts. The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal, finding the High Court's view plausible and noting a complete lack of evidence against the surviving respondent, Ram Nagina Singh.
