Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of several accused under Section 364-A IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution failed to establish their involvement in the kidnapping of Amit Kumar beyond reasonable doubt. The Court noted that the main witness, Amit Kumar, only attributed overt acts to Vinod and Sohan, while the other accused were merely found playing cards nearby, lacking evidence of conspiracy or participation. The Court concluded that the High Court's decision was plausible and did not warrant interference, affirming the acquittal of the majority of the accused.
