    Case Summary: Amarchand v. State of Rajasthan (Criminal Appeal No. 22/2020) Court Decision: The appellate court dismissed Amarchand's appeal and upheld the trial court's acquittal of six accused persons (Narsidas, Bhugandas, Omprakash, Dwarka Prasad, Ramniwas, and Bhanwri Devi) on charges of rioting, mischief, house trespass, and insult under IPC sections 147, 427, 448, and 504. Key Reasoning: Although documentary evidence (sale deed, complaint) and the complainant's testimony suggested possible guilt, the prosecution failed to prove charges "beyond reasonable doubt." Multiple key witnesses turned hostile, and critically, the trial court found no evidence establishing that Amarchand possessed the disputed property—a foundational element for house trespass charges. The court distinguished between "preponderance of probability" and the required "beyond all reasonable doubt" standard, finding the former insufficient for conviction.
