STATE OF M.P. vs NISAR

The Supreme Court held that the acquittal of the accused under Section 302 IPC by the Madhya Pradesh High Court was justified due to lack of credible evidence, particularly the absence of an eyewitness and the unreliability of the extra judicial confession. The Court emphasized that the First Information Report did not mention the confession, undermining its evidentiary value. Consequently, the appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to set aside the conviction.
