Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's revision petition challenging 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, and the absence of witnesses, including two who turned hostile, justified the acquittal. The appellant's claims regarding lack of notification and summons were dismissed as unfounded, particularly since he was an absconder in another case at the time.
