Copy of Judgment

The Special Judge acquitted all three accused persons of charges under IPC Sections 341, 294, 323, and 506 (read with Section 34) and the SC/ST Atrocities Act, finding the prosecution failed to prove the allegations. The court ruled that witness testimonies were contradictory and lacked substantive evidence—both witnesses testified they fell due to a motorcycle collision on a road under construction, not from deliberate restraint or assault by the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
