Mahindra vs Sajjan Galfa Rankhamb & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the Bombay High Court's decision which acquitted the respondents of murder charges under Section 302 IPC, originally convicted by the Sessions Court. The Court emphasized the necessity of corroborative evidence in murder cases, particularly when the prosecution relies on circumstantial evidence. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal, finding insufficient evidence to support the conviction under Section 302 IPC, thereby affirming the principle that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution.
