In Brief
The Supreme Court considered two appeals by an informant challenging the High Court's acquittal of ten accused persons in a 1999 murder case. The deceased was killed by bombs and firearms when returning from a paddy field with his daughter. The Trial Court had convicted four of the accused; the High Court acquitted them all. The Supreme Court found the High Court failed to properly evaluate testimony from two key eyewitnesses named in the FIR—Mongal SK, who suffered bomb injuries, and Samina Parvin. Their consistent accounts, corroborated by medical evidence, established guilt. The Court set aside the High Court's acquittal of four accused and restored their convictions. It upheld the acquittal of the other six accused, finding insufficient grounds for interference.
