State Of Rajasthan vs Mohal Lal & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's acquittal of the respondents charged under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, finding the evidence of four eye-witnesses to be unreliable and their conduct unnatural. The Court emphasized that the presence of the witnesses was doubtful due to inconsistencies in their statements and lack of effort to assist the deceased during the assault. Consequently, the appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment.
