    JudgmentView PDF

    Case Summary: State of Karnataka v. Mahammed Sadique Afzal Khan Decision: The accused was acquitted of all charges under sections 281, 125(a), 106(1) of BNS and 192(A) of Motor Vehicles Act. Key Reasoning: The court found that while an auto-rickshaw accident occurred on December 28, 2024, near Upponi Hanging Bridge resulting in one child's death and injuries to passengers, the prosecution failed to prove rash or negligent driving. Evidence from the complainant and eyewitnesses established that the driver was operating the vehicle normally when a small child suddenly entered the highway, prompting the driver to apply brakes to avoid hitting the child—this emergency braking caused the vehicle to overturn. The court concluded there was no culpable negligence on the driver's part, and permit violation charges also lacked evidentiary support. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
