Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to acquit the respondents-accused under Sections 302, 147, 148, and 149 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming that the High Court's re-evaluation of evidence did not reveal any legal error warranting interference. The Court emphasized its limited scope of review under Article 136 of the Constitution of India, confirming the High Court's judgment as justifiable. Consequently, the appeal by the State of Uttar Pradesh was rejected.
