    <title>1977 (2) TMI 142 - Supreme Court</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=461354</link>
    <description>In an appeal against acquittal, reversal requires plainly unsustainable trial-court reasons and clear, convincing grounds for interference. The identification evidence was found unsafe because the witnesses had not known the accused, saw him only fleetingly while he was running away, and the test identification parade was conducted after unexplained delay. The remaining eyewitness, though previously acquainted with the accused, was unreliable because his name was absent from the first information report, the station diary suggested he had been treated as an accused and kept in custody, and the recording of his statement and alteration of the diary entry were suspicious. The conviction was therefore unsustainable and the acquittal was restored.</description>
