Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Dandu Jaggaraju, setting aside the lower courts' judgments and ordering his acquittal. The Court found insufficient evidence to establish the appellant's involvement in the alleged crime, emphasizing the need for clear and convincing proof in criminal cases. Consequently, the appellant was directed to be released from custody unless required in connection with any other case.
