STATE OF U.P. vs BHAGWAT SINGH . — Crl.A. No. 883/2006

Summary: The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the State of U.P.'s appeal against an acquittal order. The High Court had declined to grant leave to appeal without examining evidence, but the Supreme Court found this error significant. The trial court had disbelieved three eyewitnesses solely because they were brothers from the same family, a finding the Court deemed deserving of further consideration. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter back for the High Court to grant leave and decide the appeal on merit after hearing the parties (August 25, 2006).
