Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the parameters for the High Court to reverse an order of acquittal passed by a trial court. The appellants contended that the High Court failed to adhere to established judicial standards when reversing the acquittals of two accused persons. The Court analyzed the scope of independent reappraisal of evidence by the High Court in criminal appeals.
