Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's acquittal of Samir Kumar Mondal, who was convicted under Section 304 Part-II IPC for the murder of Ajit Kumar Mondal. The High Court found the prosecution's eyewitnesses unreliable and noted discrepancies in the evidence regarding the injuries sustained. The Supreme Court agreed with the High Court's assessment that the prosecution's case was doubtful and did not warrant interference, thus dismissing the appeals.
