RAMUTHAI vs STATE, REP. BY INSPECTOR OF POLICE

The Supreme Court acquitted the appellant Ramuthai, who was convicted under Section 302 read with Section 109 IPC for abetting murder. The Court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, particularly due to unreliable witness testimonies and the lack of evidence linking the appellant directly to the crime. The judgment of the lower courts was set aside, and the appellant was ordered to be released if not wanted in any other case.
