casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Manish Dixit v. State of Rajasthan Court Decision: The Supreme Court upheld Manish Dixit's conviction for murder (Section 302), abduction (Section 364), and criminal conspiracy (Section 120B) of jeweller Gulshan Makhija. The conviction was based on circumstantial evidence including: using a pseudonym at a hotel immediately after the murder, absconding after his accomplice's arrest, possession of the murder weapon recovered from him, ballistic evidence linking the gun to the victim, and recovery of stolen ornaments based on his information. The Court dismissed the State's appeal seeking Sharad Dhakar's conviction for the same offences but allowed PW-30's appeal, expunging disparaging judicial remarks made against him without opportunity to be heard.
