The State Of Madhya Pradesh vs Shabana Bi

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal by the State of Madhya Pradesh against the High Court's acquittal of the respondent-accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Farida. The Court noted inconsistencies between two dying declarations made by the deceased, one to Dr. Rakesh Chouksey and another to the Executive Magistrate, leading the High Court to grant the benefit of doubt to the accused. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that there were two reasonable views regarding the evidence, thus affirming the acquittal.
