Siddanki Ram Reddy vs State Of A.P

The Supreme Court overturned the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing the necessity of reliable evidence for a conviction. The Court found that the prosecution failed to establish the identity of the appellant as the assailant, noting that he was not named in the FIR and that the eyewitnesses could not reliably identify him. The Court held that the inordinate delay in conducting the Test Identification Parade and the lack of credible evidence warranted the acquittal of the appellant.
