State of Gujarat vs VISHALBHAI KESHUBHAI VALA Advocate - C V DHOLIYA — 3158/2025

Case Summary The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate of Veraval acquitted defendant Vishalbaai Keshubaai Vala of charges under IPC Section 281 (rash or negligent driving endangering human life). The court found that while the prosecution's evidence showed the defendant allegedly drove a rickshaw recklessly on a public road, the testimony of key witnesses (panchas/panchayat members) was insufficient to corroborate the claims, and no independent witnesses were recorded despite the incident occurring in a public area, resulting in acquittal based on lack of credible evidence.
