Summary of Case 249/2024 The court acquitted accused Nagjibhai Machabhai Zapada of charges under IPC sections 323, 325, 504, 506(2) and GPS Act section 135(1), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. While the complainant testified about allegedly being assaulted with a stick on 15/02/2023 resulting in a fractured hand, the court noted critical deficiencies: the panch witnesses could not substantiate the panchayat records, no independent witnesses observed the incident, and the prosecution failed to establish the specific words used for insulting language (section 504) or prove that threats caused actual alarm (section 506(2)), as required by precedent. Consequently, the accused was acquitted and discharged under CrPC section 248(1). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
