    Case Summary: CC 546/2019 Court Decision: The Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kuthuparamba acquitted both accused persons (Balakrishnan V V and Ajithkumar V) under Section 248(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code for offences under Section 324 read with Section 34 IPC. Key Reasoning: The court found multiple fatal infirmities in the prosecution's case: (1) a five-day unexplained delay in lodging the FIR (10-15 June 2019) coupled with further delay in its court transmission, coupled with political rivalry between parties; (2) inconsistencies between the complainant's oral testimony and medical evidence—only a minor 2x2 cm abrasion recorded versus claims of repeated blows with an iron hook; (3) the alleged weapon was never recovered or clearly described; (4) the first accused's name was conspicuously absent from the initial medical history despite being named in the FIR; and (5) all prosecution witnesses were interested parties (employees/political rivals). The court held the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt and extended the benefit of doubt to the accused.
