Sasi vs State Of Kerala

The Supreme Court set aside the conviction of the fourth accused in a collective offence of illegally removing logs from the forest, emphasizing that the acquittal of three co-accused rendered the conviction unsustainable. The Court noted that the Trial Court and the First Appellate Court failed to consider the earlier acquittals, leading to a miscarriage of justice. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal and overturned the lower court's judgments.
