Summary The Karnataka High Court at Dharwad allowed the criminal appeal and acquitted accused Maruti of murder (IPC §302) and evidence tampering (IPC §201). The court found material contradictions in prosecution witnesses' testimonies, unreliable eyewitness evidence, and unproven motive, determining the conviction lacked credible circumstantial evidence required under law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
