Jagdish vs State Of Madhya Pradesh on 13 September, 2001
Not only this, in Jagdish Vs. State of M.P. 2003 (9) S.C.C. 139, a
case decided by a three Judge Bench of the Apex Court, the conviction of
the appellant was set aside, as the independent witness, did not support
the case of the prosecution. On account of non-corroboration of the
evidence of the official witnesses, through the evidence of Didar Singh,
PW4, independent witness, the case of the prosecution become highly
doubtful. The trial Court failed to take into consideration this aspect of the
case, as a result whereof, it fell into a gave error, in recording conviction,
and awarding sentence, to the accused. The submission of the Counsel for
the appellants, in this regard carries substance and stands accepted.
