STATE OF A.P. vs M. NARASIMHA RAO

The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the acquittal of M. Narasimha Rao under Sections 449 and 302 IPC for the murder of T. Subbaiah. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony, particularly from PW1 and PW2, who were closely related to the deceased and corroborated each other's accounts. The Court held that the trial court's reliance on their testimonies was justified despite some witnesses turning hostile, ultimately affirming the conviction and rejecting the acquittal.
