Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the acquittal of Sandeep alias Kala in a murder case where he was charged under Section 302 IPC. The court examined the evidence presented during the trial and the reasoning of the lower court, ultimately upholding the acquittal based on insufficient evidence to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The judgment reinforces the principle that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution in criminal cases.
