Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the High Court's order rejecting the informant's revision petition against the trial Court's acquittal of the respondents. The Court found that the trial Court had taken adequate steps to secure the attendance of prosecution witnesses, as evidenced by the issuance of summons and non-bailable warrants. The informant's claim of not being notified was dismissed, as he was a declared absconder in another case at the time. The acquittal was upheld due to the absence of witnesses and the hostility of those examined.
