Tanvi Ben Pankaj Kumar Divetia v. state of Gujarat, AIR 1997 SC 2193

This Court has clearly sounded a note of caution that in case depending largely upon circumstantial evidence, there is always danger that conjectures and surmises may take the place of legal proof. The Court must satisfy itself that various circumstances in the chain of events have been established clearly and such completed chain of events must be such as to rule out a reasonable likelihood of innocence of the accused.
