Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who was acquitted on the basis of benefit of doubt, is not entitled to full service benefits under Rule 56 of the K.S.R. The Court clarified that an acquittal based on benefit of doubt does not equate to full exoneration, and thus the appellant's claim for service benefits was dismissed. The Court emphasized that it could not reassess the correctness of the High Court's criminal judgment in these proceedings.
