Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of an appeal under Section 372 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, challenging the acquittal of the accused under Sections 302/34, 201, and 307 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The Court emphasized that the prosecution must establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, and in this case, the evidence was insufficient to overturn the acquittal. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the acquittal of the accused.
