Case History
Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Madhya Pradesh's appeal challenging Ram Vijay's acquittal in a Section 302 (murder) case. The respondent was accused of pouring kerosene on his wife Mallo Bai and setting her ablaze on 7.4.1987. Although the deceased made a dying declaration to the Executive Magistrate, both the trial court and High Court declined to rely on it, finding the narrative internally inconsistent and untrustworthy. The Supreme Court upheld this finding, refusing to interfere with the acquittal under Article 136 of the Constitution.
