STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH vs SAYYAAD SIRAJ MOHAMMED .

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 been shown the accused in jail. The Court found that the High Court's decision to disbelieve the prosecution's case was justified and constituted a reasonable view of the evidence. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, and the bail bonds were discharged.
