By now, it is a consistent view that when any case rests
entirely on circumstantial evidence then, each piece of
evidence collected must provide all links making out one
straight chain where on one end its noose fit in the neck of
the accused and the other end touches the dead body. Any
link missing from the chain would disconnect and break the whole chain to connect the one with the other and in that
event conviction cannot be safely recorded and that too on a
capital charge.
