Case Summary: Jitendra v. State of Madhya Pradesh The Supreme Court allowed Jitendra's appeal and suspended his life sentence conviction for murder (Section 302 IPC) in a 2020 fatal assault case. The Court granted relief citing that Jitendra had already served 5.5 years imprisonment and notably, the key eyewitness (complainant) had testified she was not present at the crime scene. The appellant was ordered released on bail subject to trial court-imposed conditions, including depositing the fine amount, while the appellate court retains full liberty to reassess the case on merits.
