Judgment text excerpt
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 lacking credibility. The Court noted the unnatural conduct of the witnesses, who failed to intervene during the assault on the deceased, leading to doubts about their presence at the scene. The High Court's assessment of the evidence was deemed plausible, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal.
