Ravishwar Manjhi & Ors vs State Of Jharkhand

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Sections 302, 307, 326, 147, 148, and 149 of the Indian Penal Code in a case involving multiple accused charged with murder and attempted murder. The Court emphasized the necessity of corroborative evidence to support the prosecution's case, particularly in light of conflicting FIRs from both the complainant and the accused. Ultimately, the Court acquitted the appellants due to insufficient evidence linking them to the crime, thereby reinforcing the principle that the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
