Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of the accused in a case involving the death of a police personnel due to alleged firing by CRPF personnel. The Court noted that the High Court had acquitted the accused under Section 302 IPC and Section 353 IPC, citing insufficient evidence to uphold the conviction. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing the need for credible evidence in criminal cases, particularly under Section 302 IPC, which deals with murder.
