Government of Gujarat vs Bharatbhai Laxmanbhai Patel Advocate - J A TUNIYA — 4181/2025

Summary The court acquitted the accused under Indian Penal Code Section 285 (rash or negligent conduct with fire) as the prosecution failed to prove the charge beyond reasonable doubt. The judge found that while the complainant identified the accused, the key allegation—that the accused kept his vehicle obstructingly parked on a public road endangering commuters—was not sufficiently established by evidence. The court granted the accused the benefit of doubt and ordered his release with bail to continue for six months.
