    Case Summary: Karma Uraon v. State of Jharkhand The High Court of Jharkhand set aside the appellant's conviction for dacoity (Section 395 IPC) and acquitted him, finding the trial court's reliance on sole witness identification was legally unjustified. The witness identified the appellant for the first time in court three years after the incident, despite faces being covered during the crime, with no prior identification parade conducted and no police disclosure of identification during investigation.
