    Case Summary: CC 90/2017 Court Decision: The court acquitted both accused persons of all charges under IPC Sections 279, 337, 338 (rash/negligent driving causing injury) and Motor Vehicles Act Sections 177, 180, 181. Key Reasoning: The court found fatal inconsistencies undermining the prosecution case: the IMV inspection report showed no vehicle damage despite alleged serious collision; the complaint was filed 63 days after the incident with unexplained delay; crucial witnesses turned hostile; the spot mahazar occurred 64 days later on a narrow 10-foot road making high-speed negligence improbable; and critical details in testimony (like "left side movement") contradicted the original complaint. Medical evidence alone could not establish injury causation without corroborating ocular evidence, especially since similar injuries could result from falls.
