Sk.Yusuf vs. State of W.B. (AIR 2011 SC 2283) Whereas in this judgment the Hon'ble Supreme Court has addressed the issues relating to Section 300 - murder - circumstantial evidence - theory of last seen together - comes into play when time gap between time when accused and deceased were last seen alive and when deceased was found dead was so small that possibility of any person other than accused being author of crime becomes impossible. Surendra Pratap Chauhan vs. Ram Naik and others (AIR 2001 SC 164) Whereas Hon'ble Supreme Court was addressing the issues relating to Section 300 - murder, evidence of eye witnesses - credibility - relations between accused and complainant strained leading to groupism in village - evidence of eye-witnesses who were caste fellows of complainant need not be discarded on that ground - their evidence however, needs to be scrutinized with caution.
