What proof do I need to get someone convicted

I invited my friend to my house. After he left my wallet was missing. He stole my wallet as it was lying there on sofa.I�m sure he did it as there was no one in the house except him and me. I have no evidence or eyewitness and he�s saying no he didn�t do it. What all proof do I need to get him convicted or does it itself has enough circumstantial evidence to get convicted. This is all facts I have. I want to know about conviction is it enough or not. And he�s blaming that I am lying. Do I need to prove that I am not lying.

Yes, you shall be required to prove that you had vallet which was stolen and it is your friend who committed theft. Be sure and confirmed before proceeding further otherwise levelling of false allegation may be proved fatal to you.
