Learned counsel further submitted that there is no eye witness of the incident and entire prosecution story is based on circumstantial evidence and the statements of last seen witness. Drawing attention of the Court towards the statements of last seen witness namely Jaswant @ Sadam recorded before the competent criminal court as P.W.-1, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the star witness of the case has turned hostile and has not supported the story of prosecution, therefore the prosecution is controverting itself on the circumstance of last seen.
