Delhi High Court Ruling on Murder Charge
The Delhi High Court observed that proof of motive is not necessary to sustain a murder charge, as stated in the case of Mohd Nawab v State NCT of Delhi.
A Division Bench of Justices Subramonium Prasad and Vimal Kumar Yadav noted that motive is not a necessary ingredient of an offence, as many grievous crimes are committed for flimsy and frivolous reasons.
The proof of motive is not necessary to sustain a conviction on a murder charge when there is clear evidence that the person had been done to death by the accused.
In essence, when the facts establishing the charge are clear, the lack of proven motive is immaterial.
Author's summary: Delhi High Court rules motive unnecessary for murder charge.
