The Delhi High Court upheld a trial court's 2014 acquittal of an accused in a robbery case, emphasizing the principle of "double presumption of innocence." Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri stated that appellate courts should only interfere with acquittals if findings are "perverse." The High Court found the acquittal order plausible, well-reasoned, and supported by evidence, reinforcing the presumption of innocence for the accused who was not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
