criminal trial

The Supreme Court has upheld the life sentence awarded to four persons in a murder case based on the testimony of a solitary eyewitness, observing that in matters related to criminal trials, the quality of witnesses was more important than quantity

The Supreme Court, while upholding the order of a disciplinary Committee dismissing a police constable who was acquitted in a murder case, said: “Acquittal in a criminal trial does not conclude a disciplinary enquiry.”
