    Summary of State of Gujarat v. Daudbhai Becharbhai Khristi (Sp. Atro. Case 5/2023) The court acquitted all four accused charged under SC/ST Atrocity Prevention Act and IPC sections. The alleged victim, a Scheduled Caste individual, was allegedly assaulted and subjected to caste-based insults by the accused. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish the essential elements required under the SC/ST Atrocity Act—specifically, that the accused acted with knowledge of the victim's caste and intentional hatred. Medical and witness evidence proved contradictory and inconclusive regarding injuries and derogatory speech used.
