2011 (4) TMI 1215 - SC - Indian LawsAcquittal of the accused persons - Held that:- Appeal dismissed. No doubt it is true that for bringing home the guilt on the basis of the circumstantial evidence the prosecution has to establish that the circumstances proved lead to one and the only conclusion towards the guilt of the accused. In a case based on circumstantial evidence the circumstances from which an inference of guilt is sought to be drawn are to be cogently and firmly established. The circumstances so proved must unerringly point towards the guilt of the accused. Here in the present case the motive, the recoveries and abscondence of these appellants immediately after the occurrence point out towards their guilt. Thus the trial court as also the High Court on the basis of the circumstantial evidence rightly came to the conclusion that the prosecution has been able to prove its case beyond all reasonable doubt so far as these appellants are concerned.
