Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the case of murder based on circumstantial evidence, emphasizing the necessity of establishing a clear chain of events linking the accused to the crime. The Court reiterated that under Section 302 IPC, the prosecution must prove the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt, and in this case, the testimonies of key witnesses (PW-3 and PW-4) were critical. The Court upheld the conviction of the accused for murder, affirming that the circumstantial evidence presented was sufficient to establish their involvement in the crime.
