AMRITA @ AMRITAL vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of the deceased, confirming the High Court's judgment. The Court found that the sole eye-witness, PW4, was partly reliable, necessitating corroboration for his testimony, but did not deem him wholly unreliable. The Court emphasized the importance of cautious evaluation of witness credibility, especially in light of the FIR's timely recording and the details it contained, despite the hostility of other witnesses.
