    Case Summary: Special Atro Case No. 19/2016 Court Decision: The 2nd Additional District & Sessions Judge at Bharuch acquitted both accused—Azaharuddin Iqbal Adam Bhut and Pravinbhai Shanubhai Rathod—of all charges under IPC Sections 365, 323, 504, 506(2) and SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act Sections 3(1)(r)(s). The court found the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt; all prosecution witnesses except the complainant turned hostile, the complainant's son (central to allegations) was never examined despite being traced by police, and no credible evidence established caste-based abuse or abduction.
