Summary
The State challenged Gaffar’s acquittal under Sections 279 and 304-A IPC. HELD- An acquittal strengthens the presumption of innocence; where the Trial Court’s view is plausible, it cannot be displaced merely because another view is possible. The prosecution failed to prove the driver’s identity and criminal rashness or negligence beyond reasonable doubt. The acquittal was neither perverse nor illegal. The appeal was dismissed and acquittal affirmed.
