    Case Summary: State v. Aruna Rodrigos (Case 331/2021) Court Decision: The accused, Aruna Rodrigos, was acquitted of all charges under IPC Sections 279 and 304(A) and Motor Vehicles Act Section 187. Key Facts: On February 11, 2020, a truck (KA-52/7841) driven by the accused allegedly collided with a two-wheeler (KA-66/ZE-5713), causing the death of the rider. The prosecution charged the accused with rash/negligent driving and causing death by negligence. Reasoning: The court found that prosecution witnesses—including the motorcycle rider's companion and investigating officials—testified inconsistently and lacked direct knowledge of how the accident occurred. Critical witnesses could not confirm whether the truck was speeding or negligently driven, and several prosecution witnesses admitted police pressure influenced their statements. The court held that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accident resulted from the accused's rash or negligent driving, and acquitted the accused accordingly.
