Section 302 IPC | Circumstantial Evidence Must Form Unbroken Chain to Sustain Conviction: Karnataka HC Upholds Acquittal
The Karnataka High Court dismissed the State's appeal against acquittal, ruling that forensic reports and witness testimonies failed to establish an unbroken chain of circumstantial evidence required for conviction under Section 302 IPC. The judgment reinforces that acquittal stands unless guilt is proven beyond reasonable doubt, even in appeals.
