Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court remanded the case to the Madhya Pradesh High Court for re-decision, finding that the High Court's judgment was cryptic and failed to adequately examine the evidence regarding the presence of electric lights at the crime scenes. The Court emphasized the importance of a thorough review given the gravity of the six murders involved. The appeal by the State of Madhya Pradesh was allowed, and the High Court's acquittal of the accused was set aside pending a fresh hearing.
