Criminal Trial – When ocular testimony inspires the confidence of the court, the prosecution is not required to establish motive. Mere absence of motive would not impinge on the testimony of a reliable eye-witness. Motive is an important factor for consideration in a case of circumstantial evidence. But when there is direct eye witness, motive is not significant – Lack or absence of motive is inconsequential when direct evidence establishes the crime – Referred to Shivaji Genu Mohite v.
