Ayodhya Singh vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of Respondent Nos. 2 and 3, who were previously convicted under Section 302 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The Court found that the High Court's decision was based on a reasonable assessment of the evidence, noting that the sole eye-witness's testimony was unreliable and that the prosecution failed to establish a clear motive. The Court reiterated that in cases of acquittal, the Appellate Court should not interfere unless the findings are perverse or unreasonable, which was not the case here.
