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 of alleged assault. The Court found that the High Court's conclusions regarding the lack of credibility in the complainant's version were well-founded and supported by the evidence presented. Consequently, the Court held that there was no merit in the appeal and dismissed it.
