Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of the accused under Sections 302, 148, and 149 IPC for the murder of Ram Chandra. The Court noted that the High Court found significant issues with the FIR's timing and the credibility of the sole eyewitness, P.W. 7 Mohini, whose statement was recorded days after the incident. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing the lack of corroborative evidence and the prosecution's failure to substantiate the claims, thereby affirming the acquittal of the accused.
