PRABIR MONDAL vs STATE OF WEST BENGAL

The Supreme Court examined the conviction of the appellants under Section 307/34 IPC for attempted murder, which was based solely on circumstantial evidence. The Court found that the High Court had failed to adequately consider the evidence presented by the defense, particularly the delay in reporting the incident and inconsistencies in the victim's testimony. Ultimately, the Supreme Court held that the prosecution had not established the case beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the acquittal of the appellants.
