Pawan Kumar vs The State Of Himachal Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the appellants in a case involving the illegal transportation of Khair wood. The court noted that the prosecution failed to produce the seized logs and the vehicle as evidence, and the independent witness did not support the prosecution's case. Consequently, the court found no grounds to interfere with the High Court's decision to acquit the appellants under the Indian Forest Act.
