STATE OF GUJARAT vs KALUSINH @ HARPALSINH

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of accused No.1-Ashok Singh under Section 302 IPC but acquitted accused No.2-Kalusinh due to doubts regarding his identification. The Court emphasized the necessity of clear evidence in criminal cases, particularly when the prosecution's case contains contradictions about who fired the shots. The acquittal was based on the principle of benefit of doubt, as the evidence against Kalusinh was not sufficiently compelling to sustain a conviction under Section 302 IPC.
