Cited by
We found no other Supreme Court judgment we hold that cites this one.
Counted only in the Supreme Court judgments we hold whose text we could read, not in High Court judgments. We match each citation to a judgment automatically, so a citation we cannot match is not counted. "Cited" says only that a judgment refers to this one, not whether it followed, distinguished or overruled it.
The Court's text
Paragraphs from our copy of the Supreme Court Reports print, with the Court's own paragraph numbers, the printed page and, where printed, the margin letter. Link to paragraph N with #para-N.
Having heard learned counsel for the appellant-State and learned counsel for the respondents, we are not inclined to interfere with the order passed by the Andhra Pradesh High Court directing acuqittal of the respondents. The High Court has noted that before the test identification parade was conducted on 20.3.1991, the 260 witness (PW1) was taken to the central jail where the accused A persons were shown to him. That being so, there was really no purpose in holding test identification parade. The High Court rightly disbelived the prosecution version and directed acquittal of the respondents. In any event, this is a possible view and therefore no interference is called for. The appeals fail. The bail B bonds executed for giving effect to the order of bail dated 13.10.2003 shall stand discharged. The appeals are dismissed. N.J. Appeals dismissed. C
