CrPC Section 389 | Bail Granted Where Conviction Rests Solely on Extra-Judicial Confession and No Body Recovered : MP Gwalior HC
The Madhya Pradesh High Court suspended the sentence of an appellant convicted under IPC Sections 364, 302/120-B, and 201, emphasizing that extra-judicial confessions alone-especially without recovery of the body-cannot sustain a conviction. The ruling underscores the need for corroborative evidence in cases hinging on circumstantial proof, offering relief to accused facing prolonged incarceration pending appeal.
