Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of the respondents in a murder case, originally convicted under Sections 302/149, 148, and 324/149 IPC. The Court found that the High Court had properly assessed the reliability of the eyewitnesses, determining their testimony was discredited due to various infirmities. The Supreme Court concluded that the High Court's findings were reasonable and supported by evidence, thus dismissing the State's appeal against the acquittal.
