Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: State of Kerala v. Ajith (Case 438/2017) The court acquitted accused Ajith of charges under IPC sections 294(b) (obscene words), 341 (wrongful restraint), and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), finding the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court identified critical evidentiary weaknesses: an unexplained 18-day delay in FIR registration, the only eyewitness (PW3) turning hostile, significant discrepancies in the victim's testimony regarding time/date and nature of injuries, and contradictions between the FIS and wound certificate. The court concluded the victim's oral evidence—containing contradictions, omissions, and embellishments—lacked sufficient reliability to solely establish guilt, warranting the accused's acquittal and release on bail cancellation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
