State Police vs Sujith Kumar.T — 197/2021

Case Summary: CC 197/21 The Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Kannur acquitted four accused (Sujith Kumar.T, Loujith.A, Shamal.K, and Biju.T) of charges under IPC sections 143, 147, 447, 341, 323, and 506 (read with 149), relating to alleged unlawful assembly, rioting, trespass, and assault on 25/01/2025. The court found the prosecution's case insufficient because both eyewitnesses (PW1 and PW2) turned hostile, categorically stating they could not identify the assailants and that the accused did not attack them. With no credible evidence adduced by the prosecution and remaining witnesses abandoned, the court held guilt was not established. The accused were set at liberty with bail bonds cancelled; proceedings against the deceased second accused (Soomjith.T) were abated.
