Summary of Court Judgment (ATRO Case No. 29-2023 & 34-2023) The Special Judge (Atrocities) & Fourth Additional Sessions Judge acquitted both accused, Ramesh Bhai Shaka Bhai Chauhan and Ishwar Bhai Kaba Bhai Chauhan, of charges under IPC Sections 323, 504, 506(2), and SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act Sections 3(1)(R)(S) and 3(2)(5-A). Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that: (1) the alleged incident occurred as described; (2) caste-based derogatory words were used against the scheduled caste complainant in public view by independent witnesses; and (3) there were contradictions between the FIR (delayed by 3 days), the complainant's testimony, and medical evidence. The court noted the absence of independent, impartial witnesses and credible evidence of public humiliation or caste-based insult, citing the Supreme Court's judgment in Dhiren Prafulbhai Shah v. State of Gujarat. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
