Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the High Court's reversal of the acquittal of the appellant under Sections 302 and 498A IPC. The Court emphasized that the prosecution must prove the guilt beyond reasonable doubt, and in this case, the High Court failed to consider the lack of credible evidence linking the appellant to the crime. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the acquittal, reinforcing the principle that an accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
