As per case facts, Mohinder Kaur's daughter, Kirandeep Kaur, went missing after being last seen with Ajit Singh and others at his petrol pump and then his house. Mohinder Kaur ... filed a complaint about her daughter's disappearance several months later, leading to an FIR. Ajit Singh (since deceased) and Gurcharan Singh were convicted for murder and disposal of the body by the Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar. The current appeal challenges this conviction. The question arose whether the prosecution successfully proved the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt based solely on circumstantial evidence, forming a complete and unbroken chain of events. Finally, the High Court found merit in the appeal, noting significant delays in reporting the disappearance and recording witness statements. The court emphasized that suspicion, no matter how strong, cannot substitute for proof, and the absence of the victim's body further weakened the case. The circumstantial evidence did not form a conclusive chain pointing solely to the accused's guilt. Consequently, Gurcharan Singh was acquitted.
