Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the acquittal rendered by the Trial Court was not perverse, and the High Court erred in interfering with this decision by convicting the appellant under Section 302 IPC. The Court restored the Trial Court's order of acquittal, emphasizing the sanctity of the lower court's findings when not shown to be unreasonable. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the appellant was discharged from bail obligations.
