New Delhi   

Case highlights

*Acquittal of all the accused by the trial court caused "miscarriage of justice".

*Trial court's assessment of evidence "immature and self-contradictory".

*Trial court verdict based on misreading of material and unsustainable.

*High Court termed the findings of trial court as perverse.

*Gives credence to the testimony of Bina Ramani, her daughter Malini and Canadian husband George Mailhot

*High Court says two weapon theory was a concoction introduced first time by the complainant Shyan Munshi, who turned hostile in the case.

*Statement of Bina Ramani clearly shows that she had herself seen Manu Sharma shooting Jessica Lal as otherwise she had no reason to ask him why he had shot Jessica.

*Raps Special Public Prosecutor for deliberately making a concession that Bina Ramani was not an eyewitness.

*High Court held that it was Manu Sharma, who pulled out his pistol, fired two shots, one in the ceiling and the other at Jessica Lal.

*Recovery of Manu's Tata Safari car from Noida, which was removed from the spot by co-accused Vikas Yadav and Tony Gill established their complicity in the crime. PTI
