Copy of Judgment

Summary: The Special Judge, Gondia acquitted accused Ramu @ Dipesh Pratapbhai Jiwani of charges under IPC sections 294 and 506 and SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act sections 3(1)(r)(s) and 3(2)(va). The court found that prosecution witnesses' testimonies were inconsistent and uncorroborated; the informant's account varied significantly from his FIR and statement under section 164 Cr.P.C., key eyewitnesses did not support the case, there was an unexplained 7.5-hour delay in reporting the alleged incident, and the investigation failed to examine material witnesses (Nagar Panchayat members) present at the spot, creating reasonable doubt about whether the accused made caste-based abusive remarks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
