2023 YLR 901
It is well settled by now that the medical evidence may confirm the ocular account with regard to seat of injuries and its duration, nature of injuries and kind of weapon used for causing such injury but it cannot connect the accused with the commission of crime.
It is well settled by now that last seen evidence is always considered to be week type of evidence, unless corroborated by some other independent evidence.
The alleged occurrence had not been witnessed by anyone, however, in order to prove its case, the prosecution has heavily relied upon the circumstantial evidence, which is normally considered as a weak type of evidence. It is well settled by now that in such like cases, prosecution is required to link each circumstance to the other in a manner that it must form a complete, continuous and unbroken chain of circumstances, firmly connecting the accused with the alleged offence and if any link is missing then obviously benefit is to be given to the accused.
