    Copy of Judgment

    Court Decision Summary The court acquitted the accused Jnaneshwar Mahadev Shekde of all charges under IPC sections 279, 337, 338, and 304-A. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused recklessly drove his vehicle (car no. MH-23-AD-1918) on March 21, 2017, causing an accident that resulted in the death of a student named Krushnakesh Avhad. Key evidentiary gaps, inconsistencies in witness testimony, delayed FIR filing, and lack of direct evidence linking the accident to the accused's negligent driving led to the acquittal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
