Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the respondents in Criminal Appeal No. 254 of 2002, finding that the prosecution failed to establish the charges under Sections 148, 302, 307, 326, 325, 323 IPC against them. The Court emphasized the necessity of credible evidence in criminal trials, noting that the trial court's findings were based on the lack of direct involvement of the respondents in the alleged crime. Consequently, the appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
