The Supreme Court recently upheld the conviction in a murder case observing that the ocular evidence given by the eye witness can’t be discredited merely because the expert opinion supplied by the doctor suggests the use of different weapons in causing injuries.
Setting aside the concurrent findings of the High Court and Trial Court, the Bench of Justices Abhay S. Oka and Pankaj Mithal, observed that when the ocular piece of evidence is available to sufficiently prove the guilt of the accused, then the conviction can not be set aside just because the expert evidence of the doctor suggests otherwise.
