Indian Penal Code, 1860
Section 302—Murder—Appeal against acquittal—Reasons recorded by High Court for discarding testimony of eye-witness are cogent reasons—Prosecution story of respondent-accused confessing after so many days to a stranger is very doubtful and does not inspire confidence—Findings recorded by the High Court are possible findings which could have been recorded on the basis of the evidence on record—No case for interference is made out—Appeal dismissed.
