Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of the accused in the murder case under Section 302 IPC, where the Punjab & Haryana High Court found the prosecution's evidence insufficient due to discrepancies and lack of credibility. The Court emphasized that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the acquittal of the accused based on the analysis of the evidence presented.
