As per the case facts, an appeal was filed against a High Court order that upheld a conviction for offenses under the Indian Penal Code, including murder, where the appellant ... was sentenced to life imprisonment. The prosecution's case relied on a chain of events. The question arose whether the prosecution successfully established the chain of events beyond a reasonable doubt to prove the appellant's guilt, considering that suspicion alone cannot lead to conviction. Finally, the Supreme Court concluded that the prosecution completely failed to establish a chain of events that exclusively proved the accused's guilt. The Court emphasized that strong suspicion cannot replace proof beyond reasonable doubt, and an accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The conviction was set aside.
