Copy of Judgment

Court Decision Summary The First Class Magistrate Court in Karjat, Raigad acquitted defendant Gajanan Kalu Pawar of wildlife poaching charges under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and Indian Forest Act, 1927. The prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the accused hunted a tiger, extracted its nails and teeth, and kept them at his residence, as the evidence presented was insufficient and lacked credible eyewitness testimony to support the allegations. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
