DATED : 13TH APRIL 2005 DATED : 13TH APRIL 2005 DATED : 13TH APRIL 2005 . By this application, the State has challenged the order of acquittal dated 27th February 2004 passed in Sessions Case No.504 of 2001. The learned trial Judge has considered all the circumstances proved by the prosecution. There is no direct corroborative evidence. The only basis for conviction is that the accused was last seen together with the victim and the allegation that there was an extra judicial confession. However, the witness before whom it was made has turned hostile. In such circumstances, the acquittal cannot be termed as perverse or illegal. Hence, application rejected.
