As per case facts, an unidentified decomposed body was found, later identified as Bhajan Singh. His son, Rajwinder Singh, claimed to have witnessed the assault by the accused but fled ... in fear and did not report it immediately. Bhajan Singh's brother, Gurmej Singh, also claimed to have seen the accused with bloodstained weapons but similarly did not report or inquire about his brother. The accused were convicted by the Sessions Judge. The present appeal challenges this conviction. The question arose whether the eye-witness accounts were credible given the unnatural conduct and delay in reporting, and if weapon recovery alone could sustain the conviction. Finally, the High Court found the witnesses' conduct unnatural and disbelieved their accounts. It held that mere recovery of bloodstained weapons could not sustain the prosecution's case without credible eye-witness testimony, thereby acquitting the appellants.
