Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's acquittal of the respondents under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC was justified due to the prosecution's failure to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The Court noted discrepancies in eyewitness testimonies and medical evidence, particularly the absence of injuries from glass pieces, which contradicted the prosecution's narrative of a petrol bomb attack. Consequently, the appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
