Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Munir, confirming the life sentence imposed by the High Court. The Court emphasized that in cases based on circumstantial evidence, the prosecution must establish a complete chain of circumstances that unequivocally points to the guilt of the accused, without any missing links. The Court found that the evidence presented met this standard, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
