Judgement
The court acquitted Jijith P of charges under IPC sections 279 (rash/negligent driving) and 304A (causing death by negligence) for a fatal road accident on 16 July 2022. The judgment found the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt because critical eyewitnesses did not testify despite coercive steps, and the complainant had only hearsay knowledge without witnessing the accident. The court ruled that conviction requires proof the accused drove the vehicle recklessly, which only eyewitnesses could establish. Consequently, the accused was acquitted and released with bail cancelled. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
