Ashi Devi & Ors vs State (Nct Of Delhi)

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 379 IPC and 448 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the Trial Court's findings. The Court noted that despite a nine-year delay in filing the FIR, the prosecution provided sufficient circumstantial evidence to establish the guilt of the accused, who were involved in the looting of shops during the 1984 riots. The Court emphasized that the absence of ocular testimony does not negate the validity of circumstantial evidence in proving the charges against the accused.
