Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
In a murder appeal under IPC 302, the High Court set aside the trial court's conviction and acquitted the appellant. The Court held that the prosecution failed to establish a complete chain of circumstantial evidence, failing to prove the last seen theory or the motive, and thus did not prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
What did the court decide?
Criminal Appeal allowed; judgment of conviction and sentence set aside; appellant acquitted of Section 302 IPC; bail bond discharged if any; fine refunded.
