💨 Abstract

The Calcutta High Court has overturned a life sentence of a man, Ranadip Banerjee, who spent nine years in prison for allegedly murdering his elder brother. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish a chain of circumstances and prove the crime beyond reasonable doubt. The conviction was based solely on circumstantial evidence, but the court noted several discrepancies, missing links, and a lack of eyewitnesses.
