State Of Rajasthan vs Mahavir @ Mahavir Prasad on 29 July, 1998
State vs. Mahavir & Ors
It is settled proposition of law that the guilt of the accused must be proved beyond
reasonable doubt because the law presumes that the accused is innocent. This
presumption must prevail until the end unless overcome by strong, clear and
compelling evidence. However, in the case in hand the prosecution has failed in
establishing the guilt of the accused persons namely Vijay and Ravi Shankar
beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, accused persons namely Vijay and Ravi
Shankar are ACQUITTED of the crime charged.
