Supreme Court lets off 21 given life for double murder 35 years ago

The Supreme Court acquitted 21 individuals sentenced to life imprisonment in a 1988 Bihar double murder case, 35 years later. The court emphasized that mere presence at a crime scene doesn't prove membership in an unlawful assembly, cautioning against convicting passive onlookers. The prosecution failed to prove its case, with witness testimonies lacking corroboration and alignment with medical records.
