Motive and Circumstantial Evidence in Criminal Cases
The Supreme Court of India has emphasized that the absence of motive does not automatically weaken the prosecution’s case. Strong circumstantial evidence that forms an unbroken chain pointing to the guilt of the accused can outweigh the need for a clear motive.
Key Insights:
1. Circumstantial Evidence Over Motive: Even if no clear motive exists, a complete chain of circumstantial evidence can prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
2. Eyewitness Testimony: When eyewitnesses provide convincing and conclusive evidence, the absence of motive becomes irrelevant.
3. Motive Alone Isn’t Sufficient: A strong motive cannot lead to a conviction without supporting eyewitness or circumstantial evidence.
