Copy of Judgment

Summary The court acquitted the accused, Pavan Namdev Kusale, of charges under Indian Penal Code Section 379 (theft) in a mobile phone theft case. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove that the seized Samsung mobile (Model A-70) was the same device allegedly stolen, as no identification evidence was presented before the court, and the statutory presumption under Section 114(a) of the Indian Evidence Act could not apply without establishing the recovered mobile was the stolen one. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
