Sujoy Sen @ Sujoy Kr. Sen vs The State Of West Bengal

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the conviction under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing that in cases based on circumstantial evidence, the prosecution must establish an unbroken chain of circumstances linking the accused to the crime. The Court found that the evidence presented was insufficient, as key witnesses provided contradictory statements and the first informant did not witness the accused leaving the scene. Consequently, the Court held that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the acquittal of the appellant.
