Munna Chanda vs State Of Assam

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Moti Suklabaidya, establishing that circumstantial evidence can suffice for a conviction when direct evidence is absent. The Court emphasized that the prosecution must prove the chain of circumstances beyond reasonable doubt, which was satisfied in this case by evidence of the appellants chasing the deceased and the subsequent discovery of the body. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
