Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Vasant Marotirao Thamake (SCC 284/2022) The court acquitted the accused of charges under IPC Sections 279, 337, 338 (rash/negligent driving causing hurt/grievous hurt) and Motor Vehicle Act Section 134/177. The court found insufficient evidence that the accused drove the ambulance rashly and negligently, noting critical evidentiary gaps: key witnesses admitted not witnessing the accident, the injured party provided contradictory statements, no medical evidence was produced despite claimed injuries, and no identification parade was conducted despite the witnesses not knowing the accused beforehand. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
