Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the accused in a case involving rioting and murder under Section 302 IPC and Section 147 IPC, stating that the prosecution failed to establish the identity of the assailants and the connection of the accused with the crime. The Court emphasized the necessity of credible evidence to support the charges, particularly in cases involving serious offenses like murder. Consequently, the appeal against the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the appeal was rejected, affirming the lower court's decision.
