casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed Najra's criminal appeal on 8 February 2001, setting aside the High Court's conviction order for murder under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC. The Court found that while the prosecution alleged Najra demanded dowry articles and made threats, it also produced evidence (duty register testimony from witness PW-24) proving Najra was working as a Staff Nurse at a hospital on 12 April 1981 when the death occurred, thereby establishing her absence from the crime scene. The Court held that circumstantial evidence was insufficient to connect her to the offense, and acquitted her. Najra was ordered to be released forthwith unless required in another case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
