"3. The respondent was charged for the murder of one Chotu Lal which took place on the intervening night of 1st March, 2007 and 2nd March, 2007. The FIR No. 37 of 2007 was filed against unknown assailants. The respondent was arraigned in the case on the basis of suspicion and circumstantial evidence. The prosecution led circumstantial evidence in the form of motive alleging the respondent was having an evil eye on the wife of the deceased; recovery of the weapon of offence and the FSL report indicating that the blood group on the weapon matched with the blood group of the deceased (B+ve).

4. In the appeal preferred by the accused against his conviction, the High Court held that the prosecution could not prove the complete chain of circumstances required to bring home the guilt of the accused in the case which was based entirely on circumstantial evidence.

Accordingly, the High Court proceeded to acquit the respondent accused of the charge.

6. We find that the incriminating circumstances relied upon by the prosecution, i.e., the motive and the recovery of the blood stained weapon, even taken in conjunction cannot constitute the complete chain of incriminating circumstances required to bring home the charges against the accused. The High Court seems to have to overlooked the FSL report which fact was stressed upon by learned counsel for the appellant. However, in our view, even if the FSL report is taken into account, then also, other than the fact that the weapon recovered at the instance of the accused tested positive for the same blood group as that of the deceased (B+ve), nothing much turns on the said report.

7. This Court in the case of Raja Naykar v. State of Chhattisgarh (2024) 3 SCC 481 held that mere recovery of a blood-stained weapon even bearing the same blood group of the victim would not be sufficient to prove the charge of murder.

9. Law is well settled by a catena of decisions of this Court that in an appeal against acquittal, interference can only be made if the only possible view based on the evidence points to the guilt of the accused and rules out his innocence. In the present case, we are duly satisfied that the prosecution failed to lead clinching evidence to bring home the charges. The only possible view is the one taken by the High Court, i.e., the innocence of the accused."
