Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the accused in the murder of Krishna Gir, emphasizing that the prosecution failed to establish a conspiracy under Section conspiracy provisions of the Indian Penal Code. The Court noted that the evidence presented did not convincingly link the accused to the crime, and the testimonies were inconsistent. Consequently, the appeals filed by the State of Rajasthan and Balbir were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
