The Supreme Court acquitted Manoj alias Munna in a 2004 Chhattisgarh murder case, holding that suspicion cannot replace proof. The Court ruled that “last seen” evidence alone is too weak to justify a life imprisonment conviction.
The Karnataka High Court has stayed the investigation into the Dharmasthala mass burial case after four activists, who initially led the campaign demanding the probe, challenged the legality of the FIR. The court questioned the police’s action and stopped the SIT from summoning them till the next hearing.
