Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court set aside the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing the importance of reliable evidence in criminal cases. The Court found discrepancies between two dying declarations, one indicating self-immolation and the other implicating the appellant, leading to reasonable doubt about the appellant's guilt. Consequently, the Court held that the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond a reasonable doubt, resulting in the acquittal of the appellant.
