Sooguru Subrahmanyam vs State Of A.P

The Supreme Court held that the prosecution must prove the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt under Section 302 IPC for murder. The Court emphasized that circumstantial evidence can be sufficient for conviction if it leads to the only conclusion of guilt, as established in the case. The Court upheld the conviction of the accused-husband for the murder of his wife, finding that the circumstances, including the locked house and the absence of the husband post-incident, pointed towards his culpability.
