25. Insofar as circumstance relating to motive of the appellant for causing the death of the deceased, suffice would it to be state that Crl.A. 413/01 Page 9 of 10 the motive, by itself, is not a circumstance, though it may be relevant in case of circumstantial evidence.

Matru Alias Girish Chandra vs State Of Utttar Pradesh on 3 March, 1971

preservation is such that even an innocent man may feel panicky and try to evade arrest when wrongly suspected of a grave crime. The act Crl.A. 413/01 Page 6 of 10 of absconding is no doubt a relevant piece of evidence to be considered along with other evidence but its value would always depend on the circumstances of each case. For instance, the circumstance of abscondence can be extremely fatal if the prosecution is able to prove that the victim was last seen in the company of the accused and that the accused is absconding after the death of the victim. Normally, the courts are disinclined to attach much importance to the act of absconding, treating as a very small item in the evidence for sustaining conviction. It can scarcely be held as a determining link in the chain of circumstantial evidence which must admit of no other reasonable hypothesis than that of the guilt of the accused. (See the decision of Supreme Court reported as Matru v State of U.P. AIR 1972 SC 1050).

AIR 1971 SC 2156, we do not consider it safe to rely upon the circumstance of abscondence of the appellant after discovery of the dead body of the deceased to sustain the conviction of the appellant.
