State of Maharashtra vs Dasrao s/o Laxman Bhadade and othr 1 Advocate - Kshirsagar Bharatbhushen B — 1/2025

The Special Judge acquitted both accused of atrocity charges, finding the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. Key grounds: no valid caste certificate proved the victim belonged to a Scheduled Tribe; the prosecution's account that accused entered a fully wire-fenced hotel to take tea was inherently improbable; medical evidence (simple abrasion) contradicted claims of bangle-cut injuries; and credible doubt arose from the defense narrative that the case stemmed from a dispute over illegal liquor sales.
