Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's vehicle, registered as DL 3S 7420, was not involved in the accident, as the seizure memo indicated a different registration number, DL 3S 2472. The Court emphasized that the High Court's conclusion regarding the investigating officer's error in recording the number was based on conjecture without sufficient evidence. Consequently, the Court overturned the High Court's decision and ruled in favor of the appellant, stating that the evidence did not support the claim against him.
