STATE OF U.P. vs DINESH

The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's acquittal of the respondent, holding that the evidence presented by the prosecution, particularly the testimonies of PWs 3 and 4, was credible despite the High Court's findings of discrepancies. The Court emphasized that motive, while relevant, is not determinative when reliable evidence is available. The conviction under Section 302 IPC was reinstated, affirming the trial court's decision to impose life imprisonment on the respondent.
