The Meghalaya High Court has acquitted a man accused in a murder case from 2015 in Shillong, citing insufficient evidence.
The Meghalaya High Court has delivered a significant verdict in a murder case dating back to 2015. The court has acquitted an individual who was facing charges in connection with the incident that occurred in Shillong.
The acquittal comes after the High Court reviewed the evidence presented. The judicial body concluded that the prosecution failed to provide adequate proof to establish the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt.
This ruling underscores the principle that a conviction must be based on concrete evidence, and in the absence of such evidence, the benefit of doubt must be given to the accused.
