2. The Additional Sessions Judge had earlier convicted the respondent under section 302, P.P.C. Vide judgment dated 31-3-1988 and sentenced him to imprisonment for life alongwith other minor punishments and also under section 201, P.P.C. Wherein he was sentenced to five years' R.I. With a fine of Rs,2,000. However, on appeal a learned Single Judge of the High Court after thoroughly discussing all aspects of the case reached the conclusion that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against Shabbir Ahmad (respondent No,1 herein) and accordingly allowed his appeal and ordered his acquittal from all charges.
