Ram Pratap vs Khayaliram And Ors.

The Supreme Court addressed whether it should interfere with a High Court's order of acquittal for six out of ten accused persons previously convicted under Section 302 IPC. The Court reaffirmed the settled legal principle that if two views of the evidence are possible and the High Court has adopted the view leading to acquittal, the Apex Court will not interfere unless the finding is perverse. Finding no perversity in the High Court's reasoning, the Court dismissed the appeal and upheld the acquittals.
