SHYAMAL SAHA vs STATE OF WEST BENGAL

The Supreme Court ruled that the High Court erred in interfering with the acquittal of the appellants by the Trial Court, emphasizing that such interference is limited and should only occur in exceptional circumstances. The Court reiterated the principle that the burden of proof lies on the prosecution, and in this case, the evidence presented was insufficient to overturn the acquittal. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, affirming the Trial Court's decision.
