When Eyewitness Testimony Is Credible, Proving Motive Behind Offense Is Not Necessary: Jharkhand High Court

In the case discussed by the Jharkhand High Court, it was established that an eyewitness's testimony can be deemed credible even if the motive behind the crime is not proven. The court emphasized that the credibility of the witness is more important than the motive, which is not always necessary for conviction. This ruling reinforces the principle that the quality of eyewitness testimony can be sufficient for establishing the truth of a criminal act, regardless of whether the prosecution has proved the motive. This approach underscores the importance of the witness's reliability in criminal justice.
