Supreme Court acquits murder convict after 8 years' jail; cites absence of Test Identification Parade

The Supreme Court acquitted a murder convict after eight years in jail due to the absence of a test identification parade (TIP), which raised doubts about the prosecution's case. The court emphasized that a TIP is crucial for establishing the identity of the accused and noted its absence as a serious lapse in the investigation. The decision underscores the importance of procedural safeguards in criminal cases to ensure fair trials and avoid wrongful convictions.
