The Patna High Court on Monday acquitted three accused persons of the charges of raping and murdering a 13 year old minor girl thereby setting aside the death sentence awarded to them by the trial court after observing that the
"entire bucket of evidence was either inadmissible or unbelievable to rely upon by the Court."
A division bench comprising of
Justice Ashwani Kumar Singh and Justice Arvind Srivastava observed thus:
"On consideration of the entire evidence, we reiterate that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove each of the links in the chain of circumstances beyond reasonable doubt against the accused-appellants. No doubt that the offence committed was gruesome and revolts the conscience but that alone could not have been a ground to convict the accused- appellants in absence of legal evidence against them."
