State of Maharashtra vs Vasant Ganpati Ghogre and other 2 Advocate - Patil Hemantkumar R — 160/2018

Case Summary Case 160/2018 - State of Maharashtra v. Vasant Ganpati Ghogre & Others The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate acquitted all three accused (Vasant Ganpati Ghogre, Vikas Vasant Ghogre, and Rahul Vasant Ghogre) of charges under IPC Sections 326, 327, 341, 323, and 506 with Section 34, finding reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case. The court determined that while eyewitness accounts existed, critical evidence—particularly the iron rod allegedly used to cause injury—was never recovered, creating substantial doubt about the charges of grievous hurt and criminal intimidation. The judgment emphasized insufficient corroboration between witness testimonies and the complaint filed two days after the alleged incident on August 13, 2018.
