N.V. Sashidhara vs State Of Karnataka

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of N.V. Sashidhara, affirming the High Court's findings based on circumstantial evidence, including the accused's poor financial condition, possession and sale of bullocks not owned by him, and the recovery of the weapon used in the crime. The Court noted the lack of satisfactory explanation from the appellant regarding his possession of the bullocks and upheld the lower courts' conclusions, thereby rejecting the appeal. The judgment reinforces the reliance on circumstantial evidence in criminal cases.
