Copy of Judgment

Case Summary: Special Case No. 132/2025 The court acquitted three accused persons (Rajan Namdev Taware, Lahu Raibhan Navpute, and Anand Rajan Taware) of charges under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act and BNS sections alleging they assaulted and verbally abused an informant belonging to the Scheduled Caste. The prosecution's case collapsed as key eyewitnesses, including the informant himself, turned hostile and testified they could not identify the attackers due to darkness at the hotel incident scene on 26.12.2024. Lacking sufficient evidence beyond the investigating officer's mechanical testimony, the court found the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
