    Case Summary: State of Gujarat v. Vipul and Hitesh Court Decision: The Special Atrocity Court acquitted both defendants—Vipul Palabhai Mafabhai Parmar and Hitesh Bhalaji Meruji Thakor—of charges under the Indian Penal Code (Sections 324, 323, 294(b), 506(2), 114), CrPC Section 135(1), and SC/ST Atrocity Act Sections 3(1)(r)(s), 3(2)(p-a). The court found the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: Though the complainant alleged the defendants engaged in a caste-based assault on January 14, 2024, critical inconsistencies undermined the prosecution's case. The complainant couldn't identify the defendants initially, provided conflicting timelines, and no independent witnesses corroborated the incident. Medical evidence and police investigation also contained contradictions, and no documentary evidence confirmed the alleged caste-slurs or weapons used. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
