Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court remanded the matter back to the Madhya Pradesh High Court for a fresh hearing, emphasizing that the High Court's judgment was cryptic and failed to adequately examine the evidence regarding the identification of the accused in six murder cases. The Court noted the importance of a comprehensive discussion on the evidence, particularly concerning the presence of electric lights at the crime scenes, which was pivotal for witness identification. The Court refrained from expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, highlighting the necessity for a thorough review by the High Court.
