Evidence Act, 1872, Section 114

Evidence Act, 1872—Section 114—Where only evidence against the accused is recovery of stolen properties, then although the circumstances may indicate that the theft and murder might have been committed at the same time, it is not safe to draw an inference that the person in possession of the stolen property had committed the murder—It also depends on the nature of the property so recovered, whether it was likely to pass readily from hand to hand—Suspicion should not take the place of proof.
