    Order

    The Alappuzha Judicial First Class Magistrate acquitted the second accused (Prasad) of charges under sections 454, 380, 201, 34, and 511 IPC for theft from an Indo Steel establishment, finding the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court ruled that key prosecution witnesses turned hostile, the disclosure statement was inadequate under Section 27 of the Evidence Act, and there was no proper connecting link between the accused and recovered articles. The case against the absconding first accused (Bijukumar) was split and refiled separately. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
