Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC, finding that the evidence of the prosecution witnesses was unreliable. The Court noted discrepancies in the testimonies of PW2 and PW3, including the timing of their statements and their relationship to the deceased, which undermined their credibility. The Court emphasized that the prosecution failed to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the conclusion that the acquittal was justified.
