Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of an appeal under Section 378(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, challenging the trial court's acquittal of the accused in a case involving alleged assault by police officers. The Court found that the High Court correctly concluded that the complainant's version lacked credibility and that the trial court's findings were supported by the evidence. Consequently, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
