The State of Maharashtra vs Nandkumar Devidas Rathod — 60/2025

Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Nandkumar Devidas Rathod & Others (Case 60/2025) Court Decision: The court acquitted all nine accused of charges under Indian Penal Code sections 189(2), 191(2), 190, 115(2), 352, 351(2), 351(3), and related sections. The judge found insufficient evidence to prove the prosecution's case beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: Although the FIR alleged that the accused assaulted the complainant, his family members, and caused threats and insults on December 1, 2024, the prosecution failed to establish these charges through credible evidence. The three prosecution witnesses (including the complainant) provided testimony that, at best, described only minor verbal disputes rather than the serious physical assaults and threats alleged, and no corroborating medical or forensic evidence definitively linked injuries to the accused.
