Government of Gujarat vs VIJAYBHAI RAVJIBHAI KACHHADIYA Advocate - J.R.Joshi — 5387/2025

Case Summary: Criminal Case No. 5387/2025 Court Decision: The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Junagadh, acquitted defendant Vijaybhai Ravjibhai Kachhadiya of charges under BNS Sections 281 and 337(a) and Motor Vehicles Act Sections 177, 184, and 185, giving him the benefit of doubt. Key Reasoning: While the court found credible evidence that a Bolero vehicle collided with a motorcycle on July 19, 2022, causing injuries to the complainant and witnesses, the prosecution failed to establish with reasonable certainty that the defendant's rash or negligent driving directly caused the accident. The complainant's own testimony suggested the Bolero was coming from the wrong side and the collision occurred during a conversation between parties, creating ambiguity about causation. Absent clear proof linking the defendant's culpability to the injuries, the court applied the presumption of innocence. Bail Terms: Defendant ordered to furnish ₹15,000 bail and personal recognizance bond of equal amount. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
