STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH vs DHIRENDRA KUMAR

The Supreme Court overturned the Madhya Pradesh High Court's acquittal of the respondent under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Munibai, emphasizing the importance of eyewitness testimony and motive. The Court found that the High Court erred in disbelieving the consistent evidence regarding the respondent's 'evil eye' on the deceased and the eyewitness account of the shooting. The Court reinstated the conviction, holding that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
