the blood found on the shirt allegedly recovered at the
instance of the appellant-Pooranmal matches that of
the deceased-Aruna, such finding would by itself not
be incriminating in the absence of other cogent and
corroborative evidence completing the chain of
circumstances."

"9. We cannot also agree with the finding of the High
Court regarding the effect of Section 106, placing
reliance on the decision of this Court in Trimukh
Maroti Kirkan v. State of Maharashtra. The said
decision is an authority for the principle that when an
accused is alleged to have committed the murder of
his wife; if the prosecution establishes that shortly
before the crime, they were seen together or the
offence takes place in the dwelling home where the

husband also resides, then if the accused does not
offer any explanation or offers an explanation which is
palpably false; that would be a strong circumstance,
establishing his culpability in the crime. However, it
cannot be the sole circumstance leading to the
conclusion of guilt on the part of the accused
husband. ..."

"21. The above argument may appear to be of some
substance but if we look into the law deeply, we would
find that the initial burden is upon the prosecution to
first prima facie establish the guilt of the accused and
then only the burden shifts upon the accused to
explain the circumstances as contemplated by Section
106 of the Evidence Act.
22. ... The ordinary rule which applies to criminal trials
and places the onus on the prosecution to prove the
guilt of the accused, does not, in any way, stand
modified by the provisions contained under Section
106 of the Evidence Act. The said provision cannot be
invoked to make up the inability of the prosecution to
produce the evidence of circumstances pointing to the
guilt of the accused. The said provision cannot be used
to support a conviction unless the prosecution has
discharged the onus by proving all elements necessary
to establish the offence. In other words, the
prosecution does not stand absolved from its initial
liability to prove the offence and it is only when such
an onus is discharged and a prima facie case of guilt is
made out that the provisions of Section 106 of the
Evidence Act may come into play."

"22. The argument that the accused has failed to
discharge his burden under section 106 of the
Evidence Act and, therefore, his conviction was
justified is misconceived. Section 106 of the Evidence
Act does not absolve the prosecution of discharging its
primary burden of proving the prosecution case
beyond reasonable doubt. It is only when the
prosecution has led evidence which, if believed, will
sustain a conviction, or which makes out a prima facie
case, the question arises of considering facts of which
the burden of proof would lie upon the accused. (See:
Shivaji Chintappa Patil v. State of Maharashtra (2021)
5 SCC 626). Here, as we have discussed above, firstly,
the incriminating circumstances were not proved
beyond reasonable doubt and, secondly, they do not
form a chain so complete from which it could be
inferred with a degree of certainty that it is the
accused and no one else who, within all human
probability, committed the crime. In these
circumstances, there was no occasion to place burden
on the accused with the aid of section 106 of the
Evidence Act to prove his innocence or to disclose that
he parted company of the deceased before his murder.
22. It could thus be seen, that it is well-settled that
Section 106 of the Evidence Act does not directly
operate against either a husband or wife staying under
the same roof and being the last person seen with the
deceased. Section 106 of the Evidence Act does not

absolve the prosecution of discharging its primary
burden of proving the prosecution case beyond
reasonable doubt. It is only when the prosecution has
led evidence which, if believed, will sustain a
conviction, or which makes out a prima facie case, that
the question arises of considering facts of which the
burden of proof would lie upon the accused.
7. For invoking Section 106 of the Evidence Act, the
prosecution ought to have discharged the burden on it
by adducing cogent evidence to prove the appellant's
presence at the relevant time in his house. In this
case, going by the evidence of PW-1, the deceased had
already died before 5:00 p.m., and the said witness
stated that the appellant came back home at 7:00
p.m. There is no evidence to prove the theory of the
last seen together. Therefore, the prosecution has not
discharged the burden on it to prove that the appellant
was last seen together with the deceased wife. Thus,
Section 106 of the Evidence Act cannot be invoked to
shift the burden on the appellant."
