Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals challenging the acquittal of four accused in a murder case under Section 302 IPC, affirming the High Court's findings of serious infirmities in the prosecution's case. The Court noted inconsistencies between eyewitness accounts and medical evidence, particularly regarding the distance of the shooter and the nature of injuries sustained by both the deceased and the accused. The Court held that the High Court's decision was plausible and did not warrant interference under Article 136.
