The appeal was allowed because the Magistrate failed to properly evaluate material inconsistencies and contradictions in the prosecution evidence, accepted uncorroborated inferences from CCTV without positive identification, relied on white paint stains that were not forensically linked to the scene, and overlooked incomplete police investigations and unexplained conduct by the complainant; those failures raised reasonable doubt and vitiated the conviction under section 354 Penal Code.
