Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's reversal of the Sessions Court's conviction under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution failed to establish the last seen theory due to contradictions in the testimonies of key witnesses P.W.10 and P.W.13. The Court noted that the evidence presented did not complete the chain of events necessary for a conviction. Consequently, the appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's findings.
