    Case Summary: CC.1273/2023 THE STATE OF GUJARAT v. VANRAJSINH DOLATSINH MAHIDA The Gujarat Chief Judicial Magistrate acquitted the accused, Vanrajsinh Dolatsinh Mahida, of charges under IPC sections 279, 337, 338, and 304A (rash/negligent driving causing injury). The court found that while the prosecution alleged the accused drove recklessly at high speed, causing a vehicle accident that injured multiple persons, the prosecution failed to establish this charge beyond reasonable doubt. The court reasoned that "high speed" alone does not prove negligence or rashness without corroborating evidence, and the prosecution bore the burden of proving guilt conclusively, which it did not discharge. Consequently, the accused was acquitted under CrPC section 255(1) with benefit of doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
