JAISINGH vs STATE OF KARNATAKA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the accused under Sections 302, 149, 201, and 147 IPC, reversing the trial court's acquittal. The Court emphasized that the High Court's jurisdiction in appeals against acquittal is wide but requires caution, particularly when the trial court's conclusions are plausible. The Court noted that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, supported the prosecution's case despite some witnesses resiling during trial, establishing the accused's involvement in the murder.
