Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of Nandu Vishwakarma, Kalu, and Lalloo by the Allahabad High Court from charges under Section 302 IPC and Section 367 IPC read with Section 34 IPC. The Court emphasized that the prosecution must establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and the High Court's findings were based on the insufficiency of evidence. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal, affirming that the evidence presented did not meet the required threshold for conviction under the cited sections.
