Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against the Andhra Pradesh High Court's judgment which allowed the State's appeal concerning one accused while upholding the acquittal of others under Section 302 IPC. The Court emphasized that appellate courts can review evidence in acquittal cases, stating that if two views are possible, the one favoring the accused should prevail. The Court held that the High Court's conclusions were reached without adequate evidence analysis, warranting interference due to the potential miscarriage of justice.
