State Of Rajasthan vs Khuma

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of the respondent in a murder case under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing that the circumstantial evidence presented was insufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court reiterated that for a conviction based on circumstantial evidence, the circumstances must be conclusive and exclude every other possibility of innocence. The Court found that the last seen theory and the recovery of incriminating materials were not reliable, leading to the conclusion that the High Court's judgment was well-reasoned and did not require interference.
