Case Summary: Criminal Case No. 3033/2025 Court: Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM), Junagadh Petitioner: Government of Gujarat Respondents: Tarikbhai Kadarbhai Shekh, Yasin (Alias Zhatpat) Anisbhai Sorathiya, and Akram (Alias Mayo) Ibrahimbhai Dhanani --- Decision The court acquitted all three accused of charges under IPC Sections 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 296(b) (obscene words in public), and 351(3) (criminal intimidation). The complainant failed to establish a watertight case beyond reasonable doubt. The court found significant gaps in the prosecution's evidence—including lack of credible witness corroboration, inconsistencies in the complainant's testimony, and unsubstantiated documentary proof—and applied the principle that suspicion, however grave, cannot replace legal proof in criminal jurisprudence.
