Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the Gauhati High Court's judgment that acquitted the accused charged under Sections 302, 353, and 307 read with Section 34 IPC. The Court held that the High Court erred in its assessment of evidence, particularly regarding the actions of CRPF personnel during the incident, which resulted in the death of a police officer. The Supreme Court reinstated the trial court's conviction under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing the need for accountability in law enforcement actions.
