Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC, finding that the prosecution's eyewitnesses, PW1, PW2, and PW3, were unreliable. The Court noted significant discrepancies in their testimonies, particularly regarding the presence and actions of PW2 and the credibility of PW3, who was related to the deceased. The Court concluded that the evidence did not establish the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt, affirming the High Court's decision.
