Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the accused in a murder case, emphasizing that the circumstantial evidence, including motive, last seen theory, and absconding behavior, collectively established a strong case against the accused. The Court held that the High Court erred in finding the evidence insufficient, as the chain of circumstances was complete and pointed towards the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the conviction and life sentence imposed by the Sessions Court under Section 302 IPC.
