CASE SUMMARY: C.C. No. 263/2019 The State of Gujarat prosecuted Khodabhai Navganbhai Bharvad for recklessly driving a truck at high speed on 15 January 2018, causing damage to a gate barrier and wall at a thermal power station, resulting in loss of ₹1,29,120. The accused was charged under IPC Sections 279 and 427, and Motor Vehicles Act Sections 177 and 184. The court acquitted the accused due to insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to establish the essential elements of the crime beyond reasonable doubt. Key witness testimony suggested the accident resulted from mechanical failure (brake failure) rather than the driver's recklessness or negligence. The court found that civil negligence alone cannot establish criminal liability without clear proof of culpable recklessness, and the evidence presented did not meet this threshold. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
