    Judgment

    Case Summary: C.C. No. 630/2024 The court acquitted Sudheer Kumar of charges under Section 78(3) of the Karnataka Police Act for allegedly organizing illegal matka gambling. The prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt because the two independent mahazer (witness) signatures turned completely hostile during trial, leaving only police officer testimony to support the case. The court applied the settled legal principle that when two views are possible—one indicating guilt and another innocence—the view favoring innocence must be adopted. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
