Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of the respondent, who was convicted under Section 304 Part II IPC for the death of Achelal, finding the evidence of PW-6 unreliable and inconsistent with medical findings. The Court noted that the post-mortem revealed no external or internal injuries, and the cause of death was unknown, undermining the claim of assault. The appeal by the State of Madhya Pradesh was dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment.
