Judgment text as reported

AZIZULLAH VS NIZAMUDDIN Benefit of doubt---Scope---Conviction must be founded on unimpeachable evidence and certainty of guilt---Any doubt that arises in the prosecution case must be resolved in favour of the accused and it is imperative for the court to examine and consider all the relevant proceedings and leading facts of the occurrence so as to arrive at the correct conclusion---For giving benefit of doubt, it is not necessary that there should be many circumstances creating doubts, if there is a single circumstance which creates reasonable doubt in a prudent mind about the guilt of accused then the accused will be entitled to its benefit not as a matter of grace and concession but as right.
