    Case Summary: SC 954/2023 Court Decision: The Special Judge acquitted all five accused (Sibi Abraham, Babu Thadathil, Joyichan O.V., Jayarajan P.P., and Prajeesh K.V.) of all charges under IPC sections 447, 427, 294(b), 506(i), 341 and the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act. Key Reasoning: The judge found critical contradictions in the complainant's testimony, particularly a 10-month unexplained delay in filing the complaint (incidents in November-December 2022; petition filed October 2023), false allegations regarding stolen materials that were allegedly given voluntarily, and unsubstantiated claims about caste-based abuse with no corroborating witnesses. The scene mahazar showed no visible damage despite allegations of fence destruction, and the court found the complainant's credibility severely compromised.
