    Case Summary Court Decision: The First Class Judicial Magistrate Court in Kolhapur acquitted the accused Avinash Vishindas Rohida of charges under the Copyright Act (Sections 51, 63, 64). The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had knowingly sold counterfeit branded T-shirts for personal financial gain, as the evidence presented by two witnesses was insufficient and inconclusive. The court applied the principle of benefit of doubt in favor of the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
