Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: Sessions Case 251/2021 Accused Prabhakaran was acquitted of all charges on 1 April 2026 for offences under IPC sections 143, 147, 148, 324, 302 read with section 149, and section 4(a) of the Explosive Substances Act 1908. The court found that prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt due to significant inconsistencies in witness testimony, 45-year delays affecting identification reliability, failure to conduct test parades, and evidence of potential coaching/fabrication of the FIR, despite an actual attack occurring at Chambadu Beedi Company in 1979 resulting in two deaths. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
