Case Summary: Ram Niwas v. State of Haryana Decision: The Supreme Court acquitted Ram Niwas of murder (IPC §302) and evidence destruction (IPC §201) charges, finding the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court quashed convictions from both the Sessions Judge (2005) and High Court (2009), citing unreliable witness testimony, unproven body identification, and absence of corroborating physical evidence meeting circumstantial proof standards.
