Mubarik Khan vs Nababkha @ Nawab & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment of acquittal, emphasizing the unreliability of the sole eyewitness (PW5) and the significant delay in the dispatch of the first information report. The Court noted that while delay is not always determinative, it becomes significant when considered with other factors. The Court concluded that the High Court's view was reasonable and did not warrant interference, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
