Bijendra Bhagat vs State Of Uttarakhand

The Supreme Court acquitted the appellant Bijendra Bhagat of all charges under Sections 302/34, 324/34, and 452 IPC, finding that the prosecution failed to establish his involvement in the assault that led to the deaths of Rakesh and Attar Kali. The Court noted that while the co-accused were armed and inflicted injuries, none could be attributed to the appellant, leading to reasonable doubt regarding his participation. Consequently, the Court set aside the lower court's conviction and allowed the appeal.
