Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's acquittal of the respondent charged under Section 302 IPC, citing significant discrepancies in the prosecution's case. The High Court found that the FIR's timing was unproven, the medical evidence was not adequately presented, and the eyewitness accounts were unreliable. The Court concluded that the High Court's analysis was rational and did not warrant interference, thus dismissing the appeal.
