Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals filed by the complainant against the acquittal of A2 to A5 under Section 302 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which found insufficient evidence to connect the accused to the murder. The Court noted that the items recovered from A2 and A4 were common and not linked to the crime, and the witness's testimony was flawed due to inconsistencies. The appeal against A1 was abated following his death, and the Court upheld the High Court's judgment as justified.
