ARUN KUMAR vs STATE OF BIHAR

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