The document discusses several court cases related to standards of evidence required for conviction. It notes that medical evidence alone is not sufficient for conviction, occurrence must be within 45 days of FIR, and alibi evidence in documentary form is available for the accused. Negative chemical examiner reports showed no poison or traces, so cases were disproved. Witness evidence was found to be not credible in one case. Prosecution witnesses did not support the FIR so the charge was disproved and the accused acquitted. Conviction must be based on relevant facts proved, and cannot be based on probabilities alone. When two views are possible, the view favoring the accused must be given. Benefit of doubt is always given to the accused
