Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reversed the Patna High Court's judgment, which had overturned the acquittal of the accused in a triple murder case. The Court emphasized that the prosecution failed to establish the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt, as required under Section 302 IPC. The Court held that the evidence presented was insufficient to support a conviction, thereby upholding the acquittal of the accused.
