Government of Gujarat vs Vishalbhai Hasamukhbhai Solanki Advocate - A A DAYMA — 359/2026

JudegementView PDF

Case Summary Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate First Class, Garudeshwar acquitted the accused Shalbhai Hasmukbhai Solanki of charges under BNS Section 281 (rash or negligent driving) and MV Act Sections 181, 177(3). The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused drove recklessly or negligently, as the panch witnesses contradicted the complainant's claims during examination. Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution's case lacked conclusive evidence—the panchnama details were unsupported by witness testimony, the exact vehicle speed was not documented, and no accident or injury resulted from the alleged driving. The burden of proof remained on the prosecution, and given the evidentiary gaps and unexplained circumstances, the accused benefited from reasonable doubt.
