State Of Andhra Pradesh vs Sayyaad Siraj Mohammed & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh High Court's order of acquittal, emphasizing that the test identification parade conducted on 20.3.1991 was rendered ineffective as the witness (PW1) had previously seen the accused in jail. The Court found that the High Court's decision to disbelieve the prosecution's case was justified, as it represented a possible view of the evidence. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, and the bail bonds were discharged as per the order dated 13.10.2003.
