MAHESH CHANDER AND ANOTHER vs STATE OF DELHI

The Supreme Court examined the conviction under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the lower courts' findings despite serious doubts regarding the trustworthiness of eyewitnesses. The Court emphasized that the motive for the crime was established, and the evidence of the place of occurrence and cause of death was undisputed. It held that the delay in FIR registration and the identification parade issues did not undermine the prosecution's case, thus maintaining the life imprisonment sentence.
