Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: SI Ottapalam v. Subash (900482/2018) The Judicial First Class Magistrate-1, Ottapalam acquitted Subash of charges under IPC sections 279 (rash/negligent driving) and 304(A) (causing death by negligence) for a February 2018 bus accident. The prosecution alleged Subash negligently drove a bus that struck and killed a pedestrian (the complainant's husband). However, the sole prosecution witness—the deceased's widow—turned hostile, testifying she did not know whose negligence caused the accident and had no complaint against the accused. With no corroborating evidence and no other witnesses examined, the court found insufficient material to prove guilt and acquitted the accused under CrPC section 255(1), canceling his bail bond and releasing him.
