Vs. State of Karnataka reported in [(2024) 8 SCC 149]

“38. Further, in H.D. Sundara v. State of Karnataka, (2023)
9 SCC 581 this Court summarised the principles
governing the exercise of appellate jurisdiction while
dealing with an appeal against acquittal under Section 378
Cr.PC as follows:
“8. xxx xxx xxx
8.1. The acquittal of the accused further
strengthens the presumption of innocence;
8.2. The appellate court, while hearing an
appeal against acquittal, is entitled to re-
appreciate the oral and documentary evidence;
8.3. The appellate court, while deciding an
appeal against acquittal, after re-appreciating
the evidence, is required to consider whether
the view taken by the trial court is a possible
view which could have been taken on the basis
of the evidence on record;
8.4. If the view taken is a possible view, the
appellate court cannot overturn the order of
acquittal on the ground that another view was
also possible; and
8.5. The appellate court can interfere with the
order of acquittal only if it comes to a finding
that the only conclusion which can be recorded
on the basis of the evidence on record was that
the guilt of the accused was proved beyond a
reasonable doubt and no other conclusion was
possible.”
39. Thus, it is beyond the pale of doubt that the scope of
interference by an appellate court for reversing the
judgment of acquittal recorded by the trial court in favour
of the accused has to be exercised within the four corners
of the following principles:
(a) That the judgment of acquittal suffers from
patent perversity;
(b) That the same is based on a
misreading/omission to consider material
evidence on record; and
(c) That no two reasonable views are possible
and only the view consistent with the guilt of the
accused is possible from the evidence available
on record.”
