casestatus.in Summary
When ocular evidence is wholly contradicted by medical evidence — particularly where a post-mortem report records no external injuries despite eyewitness accounts of a severe assault — the testimonial evidence must be discarded, making a homicidal finding unsustainable. In such cases, an order of acquittal represents a plausible view that appellate courts will not disturb. This analysis is brought to you by casestatus.in.
