THE STATE OF GUJARAT vs ASHOKBHAI NARANBHAI BALIYA Advocate - U R DAVE — 9/2025

Case Summary: Sessions Case No. 9/2025 Court Decision: Both accused, Ashokbhai Naranbhai Baliya and Gokulbhai Naranbhai Baliya, were acquitted of charges under BNS sections 103(1), 109, 115(2), 352, 54, and GPA section 135. The prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the accused caused the victim's death through intentional injuries. Key Reasoning: Despite medical evidence confirming serious head injuries and other trauma, the court found insufficient evidence directly linking the accused to the assault. Critical gaps included the complainant's own testimony lacking specificity about the attack, absence of corroborating eyewitness accounts naming the accused, and investigative inconsistencies regarding initial medical records and injury documentation at the first health center visited.
