    Judgment

    Case Summary: Criminal Case 986/2023 Court: Principal Civil Judge & JMFC, Sindagi Decision Date: June 6, 2026 The court acquitted both accused (Avinash Jadhav and Pavan Rathod) of charges under Section 98 of the Karnataka Police Act. The prosecution alleged they were transporting 58 bags of paper plates without proper documentation during an election patrol on March 24, 2023. However, the court found the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt because: (1) two seizure panchanama witnesses turned hostile and did not support the case; (2) invoices produced by the investigating officer showed the plates were legitimately purchased from Mahaveer Plastics and Mahazar Trading Company, negating any offense; and (3) independent witnesses were not cited despite the seizure occurring at a public location. The court concluded recovery was not properly established and cancelled the accused's bail bonds. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
