The Allahabad High Court has acquitted three individuals who had been convicted in a 35-year-old murder case, citing the unreliability of the dying declaration that formed the basis of their conviction. The court observed that the dying declaration contained inconsistencies and lacked corroborative evidence, rendering it insufficient for sustaining the convictions. This judgment underscores the need for thorough and corroborated evidence in criminal cases to ensure justice and prevent wrongful convictions. The ruling also highlights the critical role of appellate courts in re-evaluating evidence and safeguarding the rights of the accused.
