    Case Summary: Criminal Case No. 4223/2023 Court Decision: Both accused (Palani Swami @ Anno and Param Shivam @ Tambi) were acquitted of charges under IPC sections 457, 380, and 114 for the alleged theft of ₹1,14,000 from Sarvodaya School in September 2019. Key Reasoning: The prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. While witness testimony confirmed the theft occurred, testimonies contained inconsistencies and gaps regarding the accused's involvement. The court found insufficient evidence directly linking the accused to the crime, and applying the principle that doubt favors the accused, acquitted both defendants.
