Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh High Court's acquittal of the respondent charged under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Pinjari Hussain Bee. The Court found that the two dying declarations presented were significantly inconsistent, leading to doubts about the prosecution's case. The High Court's conclusion that the variations were not trivial and warranted acquittal was affirmed, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal by the State.
