M.G. Eshwarappa & Ors vs State Of Karnataka

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Basavaraj, establishing that the prosecution proved the elements of murder beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that the presence of the complainant's daughter, Rajeshwari, as a witness was credible and corroborated the sequence of events leading to the fatal assault. The judgment of the High Court reversing the acquittal was affirmed, reinforcing the principle that eyewitness testimony can be sufficient to establish guilt in murder cases.
