ORDER : 1. Appellant lays challenge to the judgment and order dated 17.09.2013 in CRA-D No.159-DB of 2009 (O&M) titled “Tarlok Singh vs. State of Punjab” passed by the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. 2. We find no reason to differ with the findings recorded by the High Court, reversing the judgment of conviction as rendered by the Trial Court. The High Court has acquitted the accused on the basis that in the present case, the prosecution failed to establish the chain of circumstances proving the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. These reasonings emerging from the record cannot be said to be perverse. The confessional statement of the respondent-accused was inadmissible in law. In our view the Trial Court erred in law in convicting the accused solely on such basis. 3. The appeal is dismissed. 4. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
