Case Summary In Criminal Case No. 383/2024, the First Class Judicial Magistrate Court in Rahuri acquitted both accused Nitin Pandharinath Mhase and Vishal Nitin Mhase of charges under IPC Sections 435 and 34 (burning property causing loss) on March 9, 2026. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the accused intentionally set fire to the complainant's sugarcane field on May 15, 2024, as the complainant and sole witness later settled their dispute (Section 21 settlement) and could not provide credible evidence supporting the charges.
