Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's reversal of acquittal under Sections 143, 147, 148, 120B, and 302 read with 149 IPC. The Court emphasized the stringent parameters for interfering with an acquittal, noting that the High Court had justified its decision based on the prosecution's evidence of a conspiracy to murder. The appeal was ultimately dismissed for Appellant Nos. 3 and 4 due to non-surrender, and for Appellant No. 5 due to abatement, leaving only Appellant Nos. 1 and 2 with bail granted.
