    Case Summary: CC No. 518/2019 Decision: The accused, Basappa Irappa Bhavikatti, a bus driver, was acquitted of charges under IPC Sections 279 (rash/negligent driving) and 304A (causing death by negligence). Key Facts: On April 9, 2019, a 35-year-old woman died after being crushed by a KSRTC bus while picking up spilled rice grains at Annigeri bus stand. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the driver acted with criminal negligence, as no direct witnesses testified to the driver's negligent conduct. The court found the victim was in a prohibited zone and noted the conductor's failure to assist during the reversal, along with the bus's lack of modern safety sensors, constituting multiple contributing factors rather than sole driver negligence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
