Jammu and Kashmir Court Acquits Two Youths After Six Years Citing Insufficient Evidence
A Jammu and Kashmir court acquitted two youths from Baramulla after six years in custody under anti-terror laws, citing insufficient and inconsistent prosecution evidence. The court found that suspicion alone could not replace proof and that the alleged recovery of weapons was doubtful, weakening the case under UAPA and Arms Act charges. The police had claimed to find grenades, ammunition, and Lashkar-e-Taiba materials in their vehicle, but the court ruled the evidence did not meet the legal standard for conviction.
