    Copy of Judgment

    Case Summary: 648/2016 Court Decision: The First Class Judicial Magistrate acquitted all four accused (Vinayak Namdeo Gangurde and three others) of charges under the Maharashtra Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, Section 11(1)(a), finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused intentionally injured the complainant's two bulls. While medical evidence confirmed the animals had injuries, the court determined that no eyewitness directly observed the accused inflicting the injuries, and the evidence was insufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
