Mahesh vs State Of Delhi

The Supreme Court allowed Criminal Appeal No. 1175 of 2009 filed by Mahesh, acquitting him of murder charges due to identical evidence with that of co-accused Mahavir, who had previously been acquitted. The Court emphasized the weakness of the identification evidence provided by P.W. 4 Seema Sharma, which was insufficient for conviction. The Court expressed concern over the prolonged incarceration of the appellant, who had nearly completed his sentence, highlighting a failure in the criminal justice system.
