State of Maharashtra vs Samir Babu Waghmare — 221/2023

Summary The court acquitted accused persons 1, 2, and 4 under IPC Sections 379 and 34 (theft and criminal conspiracy) for allegedly stealing 155 meters of PVC wire worth Rs. 3,10,000 from a construction project on September 28, 2023. The court found the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt due to inconsistencies in witness testimony, lack of direct evidence of who committed the theft, and a settlement reached outside court, thereby benefiting the accused from the doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
