HARISINGH . vs STATE OF M.P. — Crl.A. No. 1300/2004

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Harisingh and others challenging their conviction for murder. The appellants were originally acquitted by the Sessions Court in Ujjain for the October 11, 1993 death of Abdul Gaffar, but the High Court reversed the acquittal and convicted three of them under IPC Section 302 read with Section 34. The Supreme Court upheld the conviction, finding the trial court's reasoning perverse and unreasonable—particularly its reliance on a doctor's rigor mortis opinion to date the incident to October 10 instead of October 11. The Court accepted credible eyewitness testimony and rejected the appellants' arguments regarding motive and charge-sheet discrepancies.
