casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Radha Kishan v. State of M.P. (Crl.A. No. 525/2001) The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and acquitted Radha Kishan of murder charges under Section 302 IPC, setting aside his life sentence. The Court found the conviction unsafe due to weak and contradictory witness testimony. The sole credible witness (Kilol Singh) had a strained relationship with the accused, while the other key witness (Ram Kali) contradicted him on material facts and her own police statement. The Court noted critical investigative failures—no corroborating witnesses were examined despite the crime occurring in a populated village area, and no murder weapon was recovered. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
