K. Angara vs State Of Kerala

The Supreme Court examined the conviction of a father under Section 302 IPC for the alleged murder of his son, which was upheld by the High Court. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's case relied on circumstantial evidence due to the hostility of eyewitnesses, but found that the established circumstances did not form a conclusive chain to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, the Court acquitted the appellant, holding that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the conviction under Section 302 IPC.
