Case Summary: CC NO. 1255-2025 Court Decision: The accused, Antim Hinduj Bhatiya (tanker driver), was acquitted of all charges due to insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt. Key Facts: The case involved a tanker (GJ-01-MT-5051) carrying ethanol that allegedly overturned on November 21, 2025, near Baroda, causing injury to the driver and loss of approximately ₹9.6 lakh worth of ethanol. The accused was charged under IPC sections 281, 125(a), 324(p) and MV Act sections 177, 184 for rash/negligent driving causing damage. Reasoning: Although witnesses testified that the accident occurred and caused losses, they admitted under cross-examination that they did not personally witness the accident. The prosecution could not credibly establish that the driver was driving recklessly or negligently. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the essential elements of the charges beyond reasonable doubt, and the accused was accordingly discharged under BNS section 351.
