As per case facts, the Appellant sexually abused his minor daughter, leading to pregnancy. To conceal this, he lured her to a farm under the pretext of medical treatment and ... killed her by strangulation. The Sessions Court convicted him, relying on DNA evidence, the 'last seen together' theory, and his conduct, awarding a death sentence. The present appeal challenges this conviction and sentence. The question arose whether the DNA evidence was valid and reliable, and if the prosecution had established a complete chain of circumstantial evidence beyond reasonable doubt. Finally, the High Court found the 'last seen together' theory unconvincing due to witness unreliability and procedural flaws. The DNA evidence was discarded due to unexplained delays in sample submission, lack of proper preservation, and doubts about the scientific officer's competency. Consequently, the High Court concluded that the prosecution failed to prove its case with clinching evidence, setting aside the conviction and death sentence, and ordering the appellant's release.
