JUDEGEMENT

Court Judgment Summary The 6th Additional Sessions Court at Deesa acquitted all three accused persons (Gangaben, Hareshkumar, and Shashibhai) of charges under IPC sections 302, 114, 201 (culpable homicide and conspiracy) in a murder case. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, noting that all discovery panchnama witnesses were hostile and the investigating officer failed to properly prove the contents of the panchnama as required by Supreme Court precedent. The court criticized the prosecution and police for careless handling of this serious crime and ordered copies of the judgment sent to senior police and prosecution authorities. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
