Munna Yadav vs Lal Bahadur Yadav Advocate - sri — 72/2023

Case 72/2023: Munna Yadav v. Lal Bahadur Yadav – Summary Decision: The court acquitted all three accused (Lal Bahadur Yadav, Mantu Yadav, and Suraj Yadav) of charges under IPC sections 341, 323, 325, 307, 504, 506 read with section 34. Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution's two eyewitnesses, during cross-examination, admitted critical inconsistencies: they could not see who actually inflicted injuries, made contradictory statements about the circumstances, and acknowledged settlement between parties. In the absence of credible, consistent evidence proving the accusations beyond reasonable doubt, the court applied the legal principle that benefit of doubt must go to the accused.
