Judgment text as reported

OSAMA VS State. Circumstantial evidence---Reliance---Principle---In cases where evidence is of a circumstantial nature, the circumstances from which conclusion of guilt is to be drawn should, in the first instance, be fully established---Each fact must be proved individually and only thereafter, Court should consider total cumulative effect of all proved facts, each one of which reinforces conclusion of guilt---If combined effect of all facts taken together is conclusive in establishing guilt of accused, conviction would be justified even though it may be that one or more of these facts, by itself/ themselves, is/ are not decisive---Circumstances proved should be such as to exclude every hypothesis except the one sought to be proved but it does not mean that before the prosecution case succeeds in a case of circumstantial evidence, alone, it must exclude each and every hypothesis suggested by accused howsoever, extravagant and fanciful it may be.
