Basaveni Ravi & Anr vs State Of A.P

The Supreme Court held that the conviction of A-5 and A-8 under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC was unsustainable, given that all other accused were acquitted based on the same evidence. The Court emphasized the principle of benefit of doubt, stating that if the evidence did not support the conviction of others, it could not support the conviction of A-5 and A-8 either. Consequently, the Court set aside their conviction and ordered their release.
