The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the learned trial Court has erred in acquitting the accused only on the ground that the documentary evidence is not furnished by the complainant and that the witnesses were interested witnesses. He submits that merely because witnesses are interested witnesses cannot be a ground for discarding their testimony. 5. The complaint filed by the appellant- complainant was that in the business transaction, the accused persons had taken their amount and when their turn came, they refused to give the amount. 6. The scope of an appeal against acquittal is limited and unless it is found to be perverse, interference is not warranted.
