13. The prosecution’s case was entirely based on three links of circumstantial evidence: (i) Last seen together circumstance; (ii) Extra-judicial confession; and (iii) FSL report regarding the mud/soil found stuck in the shoes of the accused appellant, matching with the soil of the pond where the child victim’s dead body was found. 14. The prosecution relied upon the evidence of Dipendrakumar Dhirendranath Shukla (PW-9), Pradipkumar Ganesh Rawat (PW-14) and Sanjay Ganesh Rawat (PW-15) for proving the purported theory of ‘last seen together’ and Anil Mahatam Singh (PW-17), the Supervisor, under whom the accused appellant was working, for proving the so called extra-judicial confession made by the accused appellant. The prosecution also relied upon the FSL 10 Criminal Appeal No(s). 1954-1955 of 2022
