poison, in fact, was found in the viscera, the requirement
of proving that the accused was possessed of the poison
would follow from the circumstance that accused gave the
victim something to eat and need not be separately proved.
There have been cases in which conviction was maintained,
even though the body of the victim had completely
disappeared, and it was impossible to say, except on
circumstantial evidence, whether that person was the victim
of foul play, including poisoning. Recently, this Court in
Mohan v. State of U. P. (1) decided on November 5, 1959,
held that the proof of the fact of possession of the poison
was rendered unnecessary, because the victim died soon after
eating pedas given by the accused in that case, and he had
not partaken any other food likely to contain poison.
