Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the accused in a murder case, emphasizing that the High Court has the power to re-evaluate evidence in appeals against acquittal. The Court reiterated that if two reasonable views of evidence exist, the acquittal should not be disturbed. The trial court's finding of unreliable eyewitness testimony was deemed justified, and the appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
