Section 106 Evidence Act | Burden of Proof Shifts to Accused in House Murders When 'Last Seen Together' Established : Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh High Court upholds conviction under Section 302 IPC where the accused failed to explain the death of his wife inside their home, applying Section 106 of the Evidence Act. The ruling reinforces that in house murders, the burden shifts to the accused to provide a reasonable explanation when the prosecution establishes the couple was last seen together.
