Final Orders / Judgements
Summary: The Payyannur First Class Magistrate acquitted Biju Mathew of charges under IPC sections 279, 337, 338, and 304A in a fatal road accident case where one person died and others were injured. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt because key eyewitnesses turned hostile, no witness identified the accused as the driver, and no evidence established negligent driving. The seized vehicle was ordered released absolutely after the appeal period expired. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
