Government of Gujarat vs Vikrambhai Bachubhai Vaghela — 263/2024

Summary The court acquitted two accused (Vikrambhai Babubhai Waghela and Bharat Uday Shankar Gabhrubhai Walodariya) of charges under Indian Penal Code sections 379, 457, and 114 (theft, house-breaking by night, and abetment) for stealing copper wire worth ₹15,450. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish the guilt beyond reasonable doubt as the investigating officer did not properly examine five witnesses who could have corroborated the charges, and the evidence presented lacked quality and substance.
