'At twilight of existence': 100-year-old man acquitted in murder case after 4 decades

A division bench of Justices Chandra Dhari Singh and Sanjiv Kumar, in a 23-page ruling dated Jan 21, tore into contradictions they found in the prosecutions case from unreliable testimony of two eyewitnesses to omissions in FIR and what the court called inherent improbabilities. Dhani Ram and co-accused Satti Din had been convicted under IPC sections 302 read with 34 for accompanying Maiku during the killing.
