The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the accused under Sections 302 and 323 read with Section 34 IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution failed to establish the guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court noted that the evidence presented, including testimonies from injured witnesses, was insufficient to prove the charges against the accused. Consequently, the appeal by the State of Haryana was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
