Judgment text as reported

Daulat Khan VS Ibne Amin Double presumption of innocence---Scope---accused person, as a matter of right, is presumed to be innocent before trial unless the charge is proved against him/her---acquittal at trial gives rise to double presumption of innocence for an accused---an appellate Court is needed to be cautious while considering the evidence and should avoid reversal of an acquittal, unless it finds that the acquittal is perverse, conjectural, arbitrary, jurisdictionally defective and prompted by mis-reading or non-reading of evidence---Even if a contrary view is formed on re-appraisal of evidence, it should not be used to disturb an acquittal, provided convincing evidence is available on the record to reverse acquittal.
