    Copy of Judgment

    Summary The court acquitted bus driver Sushil Gokul Avchar of charges under sections 304-A (causing death by negligence), 279, 337, and 338 of the Indian Penal Code for a fatal traffic accident on February 14, 2022. The court found insufficient evidence that the accused was driving recklessly or at high speed, noting critical gaps in the prosecution's case: no direct evidence identifying which specific bus hit the motorcycle, the investigating officer failed to confirm the accused was driving the bus that day, and vital witnesses (scene panchas, inquest panchas, and ST depot staff) were not examined. The court concluded the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
