SHAKEEL vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of accused Shakeel, who was convicted under Sections 148, 307/149, and 324/149 IPC. The Court found that the prosecution failed to provide sufficient evidence linking Shakeel to the crime, as the complainant and his mother did not identify him as an attacker, and no test identification parade was conducted. Consequently, the judgments of the trial court and the High Court were set aside, and Shakeel was ordered to be released immediately.
