STATE OF GUJARAT vs KARSHANBHA AMARSANGBHA SUMANIYA Advocate - R N THAKAR-G/4462/2019 — 1361/2025

Summary The court acquitted the accused, Karsanbhai Amarsangbhai Sumraniya, of charges under IPC Section 135(1) (destruction of government property) due to insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the five witnesses examined by the prosecution (particularly the magistrate's inspection report witnesses) provided no substantive corroboration of the alleged offense, and the confessional statement allegedly made by the accused was not supported by documentary evidence. The court found reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case and ordered the accused's acquittal along with recovery of seized cash and filing of a security bond.
