1. Heard application praying for grant of leave to file acquittal appeal against the impugned judgment dated 11.08.2021 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Jashpur, District: Jashpur, Chhattisgarh in Sessions Case No.29/2020 acquitting the respondent from the charge under Section 302 of IPC.

2. Considered on the above submissions and also perused the copy of deposition sheets of the witnesses. All the relevant witnesses of prosecution, mainly the eye witnesses have turned hostile and not supported the prosecution case. Thus, it appears to be no sufficient evidence to hold any conviction against the appellant, therefore, we do not feel inclined to allow this application. Hence, the application is rejected.

3. Accordingly, the instant petition is disposed of.
