Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of A1 by the High Court and the conviction of A1 to A4 under Sections 302 and 341 IPC. The Court emphasized the necessity of credible eyewitness testimony, noting that P.W. 1 was not an eyewitness and that P.Ws. 2 and 3 had inconsistencies in their accounts. The Court ultimately held that the prosecution failed to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the acquittal of A1 and the remaining accused.
