    CASE SUMMARY: CRMP/1010/2023 The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed the State's application for leave to appeal against the trial court's acquittal of Jagdish Sahu for attempted murder (IPC §307). The court found the trial judge's acquittal was not perverse, noting evidentiary inconsistencies: the complainant's written complaint omitted details mentioned in his deposition; key eyewitnesses either turned hostile or didn't corroborate the assault; and medical evidence supported a mutual scuffle rather than a one-sided attack. Applying Supreme Court precedent, the court held that where two reasonable views exist on evidence, appellate courts cannot reverse acquittals merely by preferring the conviction view. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
