As per case facts, the informant found Likhu Kumhar murdered with a tangi stuck in his neck. His nephew, P.W.5, claimed to be an eye-witness, stating Kuthu Oraon killed Likhu ... because Likhu opposed Kuthu's desire to marry his daughter, Kunti Kumari, and arranged her marriage elsewhere. The appellant was convicted by the trial court. The appeal challenged this conviction, arguing that no eye-witness saw the crime, P.W.5 was a tutored child witness, and the alleged motive was unproven. The question arose whether the trial court's judgment suffered from any error of law calling for interference by the High Court. Finally, the High Court found P.W.5's testimony unreliable due to contradictions and lack of supporting evidence for the motive, especially the non-examination of Kunti Kumari. Concluding that the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, the High Court set aside the conviction and allowed the appeal.
