DATED : 3RD MAY 2005 DATED : 3RD MAY 2005 DATED : 3RD MAY 2005 . Heard learned Additional Public Prosecutor on merits of the Application. The acquittal given by the learned Additional Sessions Judge is based on appreciation of evidence and after a careful marshalling of evidence on record, the learned Judge has come to the conclusion that the prosecution has failed to prove beyond doubt the factum of homicidal death. Such being the finding recorded by the learned Judge on appreciation of evidence, we do not find any reason to interfere with the order of acquittal since it cannot, by any stretch of imagination, be termed as illegal or perverse. Hence, leave refused.
