JITU @ JITENDER vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court altered the conviction of the appellant from Section 302 IPC to Section 326 IPC, citing inconsistencies in witness testimonies and the absence of corroborative evidence for the murder charge. The Court noted that while the evidence of PW8 was accepted, the appellant was not convicted for injuries inflicted on another victim, raising concerns about the trial's fairness. The Court imposed a custodial sentence of seven years, acknowledging that the appellant had already served this duration, leading to his immediate release unless required in another case.
