The Supreme Court set aside a conviction in a kidnapping and murder case after finding significant deficiencies in the prosecution evidence. In Kondapaka Sridhar @ Shekar v. State of Telangana, the prosecution relied upon electronic evidence, the last-seen theory and circumstantial evidence. The Court noted that the electronic evidence was not properly supported by the mandatory certification required under Section 65B of the Evidence Act. The concerned Nodal Officer was also not examined. The Court further questioned the reliability of identification evidence because the witness had been shown photographs of suspects before the Test Identification Parade. This affected the evidentiary value of the subsequent identification. The prosecution also failed to establish important foundational facts connecting the accused with the premises where the body was recovered. The Court reiterated that Section 106 of the Evidence Act does not shift the primary burden of proving the prosecution's case onto the accused. The prosecution must first establish the basic facts forming its case. The judgment is significant for electronic evidence, Section 65B certification, identification procedures, circumstantial evidence and Section 106.
