Case History
Summary The Supreme Court dismissed the criminal appeals filed by Gorle S. Naidu (father of deceased) and the State against the Andhra Pradesh High Court's acquittal of 39 accused persons charged with the April 10, 1991 deaths of two village residents. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that the prosecution evidence was riddled with contradictions, delays, and inconsistencies—particularly regarding eyewitness testimony, the timing of the FIR, and conflicting accounts of who assaulted which victim—making the case vulnerable to reasonable doubt despite convictions at trial level.
