Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to acquit the respondents of charges under Section 304/34, 147, and 323 IPC, as well as Section 24 of the Cattle Trespass Act, 1871. The Court found that the prosecution failed to establish the necessary intent and participation of the accused in the alleged assault leading to the deaths of Ramesh and Singari Devi. The judgment emphasized the importance of proving culpable homicide beyond reasonable doubt, resulting in the dismissal of the appeals by the State of U.P.
