Judgement

Case Summary: ST. 1138 OF 2018 Court Decision: The accused, Biju (age 42), was acquitted of all charges under IPC sections 341 (wrongful restraint), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), and 294(b) (obscene words in public). Key Reasoning: The court found critical inconsistencies between the complainant's testimony and medical evidence. While PW1 claimed the accused slapped him on the left cheek and kicked his abdomen with a shoe-wearing foot, the medical certificate documented tenderness only on the left forehead and back of the chest—not matching the alleged assault locations. Additionally, the complainant materially improved his version during trial (adding the "shoe-wearing foot" detail) after initially omitting it in the FIR statement and police questioning. The sole eyewitness turned hostile, and unexplained procedural delays further weakened the prosecution's case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
