Rafiq Khan vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Rafiq Khan, affirming the conviction for murder based on the testimony of child witness Farida (P.W. 1) and corroborating witness Maqbool Ahmed (P.W. 2). The Court held that Farida's age did not preclude her from understanding the sanctity of her testimony, and the brutal nature of the injuries inflicted by the appellant indicated a clear intention to kill, despite the absence of prior animosity. The Court found no merit in the arguments presented by the appellant regarding the need for corroboration and the lack of intent.
