Copy of JudgmentView PDF
The Additional Sessions Judge at Khed, Maharashtra acquitted accused Iqbal Umar Mukadam of charges under Section 353 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 110 read with Section 117 of the Maharashtra Police Act, finding insufficient evidence that mere verbal statements without accompanying physical assault or gesture constitute obstruction of a public servant's duties. The court noted critical gaps in the prosecution's case, including lack of documentary evidence that the forest office was functioning at the alleged location during official hours, and inconsistencies between the FIR and witness testimony.
