THE STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH HOME DEPARTMENT SUPERINTENDANT OF POLICE vs ARIF KHA — Crl.A. No. 201/2011

Case Summary: State of Madhya Pradesh v. Arif Kha (Crl.A. No. 201/2011) The Supreme Court dismissed the State's appeals on August 22, 2017, upholding the High Court's acquittal of accused persons convicted for a 2000 robbery where jewelry was looted and a person assaulted. The Court found the prosecution's case fatally weakened by the complainant's non-examination, recovered ornaments lacking documentary corroboration, and witness identification inconsistencies (witness identified accused in parade but not in court). The Court affirmed the High Court's correct evidentiary appreciation, noting the accused had already served 8+ years imprisonment before acquittal.
