Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision in Narad Patel vs. State of Chhattisgarh, which had upheld the conviction of the appellant for offences under the IPC and Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The Court found that the evidence presented did not sufficiently establish the charges against the appellant, leading to the conclusion that the conviction was not warranted. Consequently, the Supreme Court acquitted the appellant of all charges.
