Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's acquittal of Samir Kumar Mondal, who was previously convicted under Section 304 Part-II IPC for the murder of Ajit Kumar Mondal. The High Court found the eyewitness testimony 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 not credible and dismissed the appeals, affirming the acquittal.
