As per case facts, an enquiry into a missing person led to the appellant's arrest, body discovery, and recovery of an alleged murder weapon and victim's possessions. The Trial Court
...acquitted the accused, citing insufficient evidence. The High Court reversed this acquittal, convicting the accused for murder and causing evidence disappearance based on circumstantial evidence, prompting the appeal to the Supreme Court. The question arose whether the High Court correctly reversed the acquittal, given doubts on the last seen theory, evidence recovery, and confessional statements' voluntariness and corroboration. Finally, the Supreme Court found no circumstances proving guilt. It held that the last seen theory was unproven, recoveries lacked criminal connection, and confessions were unreliable. Therefore, the Supreme Court reversed the High Court's judgment, restoring the acquittal.
