STATE OF GOA vs SANJAY THAKRAN

The Supreme Court overturned the acquittal of the accused under Sections 120-B, 364, 302, and 392 read with Section 34 IPC, emphasizing the importance of circumstantial evidence in establishing guilt. The Court held that the prosecution had sufficiently demonstrated the last seen theory and the motive behind the crime, thereby warranting a retrial. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
