acquittal =Long ago, in England, Lord Justice GODDARD in WOOLMEINGTON Vs. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS (1935 AC 462), held that onus is upon the prosecution to prove the offence alleged to have been committed by the accused beyond all reasonable doubts. This has become the core of the Anglo-Saxonic Criminal Jurisprudence. 49. Since then there is no shifting of this primary duty cast upon the prosecution. The Indian Legal System is also wedded to this basic principle of English Criminal law. Even, now this is the position of Criminal law in India except to the extent statutorily excluded. For instance, offences against women (Section 113-A, 113-B, Indian Evidence Act, 1872). 50. The necessary corollary is suspicion, however, strong may not take the place of legal proof. A finding of a Criminal Court is acceptable only when it is supported by legal and valid evidence. Dehors that, it deserves rejection lock, stock and barrel.
